Down the highway of sorrow
I'm traveling 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
Out 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 till my dying day.Down the highway of sorrow
I'm traveling 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 darling
And got down on my knees
The then I begged her through my tears
To give my poor heart ease
But she was hurt too deeply
That she could not forgive
My life will be a sorrow
For as long as I live.
