Highway of Sorrow

Down the highway of sorrow
I'm travelin' 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
Our 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 'til my dying day

Down the highway of sorrow
I'm travelin' 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 darlin'
And got down on my knees
The then I begged her through my tears
To give my poor heart ease
But she was hurt so 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 travelin' 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
