It's a long lonely highway when
you're travellin' all alone
And it's a mean old world when
you got no one to call your own
And you pass through towns too small
to even have a name, oh yes
But you gotta keep on goin',
though there's no one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
I gotta rock for my pillow
And the cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy so
That I wouldn't be better off dead
It's a long lonely 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
though there's no one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
