It's a long lonely highway
when you're traveling all alone
And it's a mean old world
when you've got no one to call your own
And you pass through towns too small
to even have a name, oh yeah
But you gotta keep on goin'
on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin'
though there's no one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
It's a long,
highway without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops
that keep on bein' cried
My heart's so heavy, it's a low -down,
shame, oh yeah
Well, you gotta keep on goin'
on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin'
though there's no one to care
Just keep a -movin' down the line
I got a rock for my pillow,
and a weepin' willow
And a cool grass for my bed
My drinkin' water's muddy,
so don't you tell me,
buddy that I wouldn't be better off dead
It's a long, highway
gettin' longer all the time
And if she don't come and get me well,
I'm gonna lose my mind
So if you read about me
tell her she's the one to blame
Oh, yeah
You gotta keep on goin'
On that road to nowhere,
gotta keep on goin'
Though there's no one to care,
just keep on movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
