Down the highway of sorrow
I'm traveling alone
I've lost all my true friends
And I lost a happy home.
I'm headed for destruction
I'm on the wrong track
Down the highway of sorrow
There's no turning back.
Once I had a darling wife
She was kind, true, and sweet
Out home, it was happy,
And life was so complete
But I fell for another
Who led my heart astray
Now I must live in sorrow till my dying day.
Down the highway of sorrow
I'm traveling alone
I've lost all my true friends
And I lost a happy home.
I'm headed for destruction
I'm on the wrong track
Down the highway of sorrow
There's no turning back.
I went back to my darling
And got down on my knees
The then I begged her through my tears
To give my poor heart ease
But she was hurt too deeply
That she could not forgive
My life will be a sorrow
For as long as I live.
Down the highway of sorrow
I'm traveling alone
I've lost all my true friends
And I lost a happy home.
I'm headed for destruction
I'm on the wrong track
Down the highway of sorrow
There's no turning back.
