Lyrics
I’m drivin’ down the highway, and struck this bumpy by-way This foolishness has thrown me out of gear I dunno why I turned off, I only know I’m burned off ‘Cos I’m travellin’ down the lonesome road of tears. My girl was smart and streamlined smooth as any shear line But I’m just like a burnt out model T The signboard reads tomorrow, you’ll still be chasin’ sorrow As you’re travellin’ down the lonesome road of tears In dreams I wander through, those summer nights with you Oh darlin’ they were happy times Now my heart is filled with woe, because I let you go We parted when I crossed the double lines Now I’m drivin’ down the highway, my dreams are just a by-way As I’m travelling down the lonesome road of tears I’m drivin’ an’ I’m dreamin’, but the moon above is beamin’ As if he’s bubblin’ over with his beams Oh I’d like to try his skyways, moonlit open highways Instead of travellin’ down this road of tears I’ve tried so hard to show, and let my girlie know How much I regret my play I’ve pleaded and I’ve lied, yeah, I’ve hung my head and cried But she just turns and walks the other way So I guess it’s time to wander, my blues are getting’ stronger As I’m movin on down the lonesome road of tears. Yes travellin’ down the lonesome road of tears.
