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'
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 lonely highway
Without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops
That keep on being cried
My heart's so heavy
It's a low down dirty shame oh yes

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

I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
And the cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy
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 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 movin' down the line

Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line.....
