                                                      C|  C7| % |
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 Epass through towns too small to even have a Amname, oh Fyes
But you gotta Ckeep on goin', Amon that road to nowhere
Gotta Ckeep on goin', though Amthere's no one to care
            C                 F|  C|  C7|
Just keep mo-ovin' down the line
[Verse 2]
                                            C|  C7| % |
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
                                                     F|  C7| % |
And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried
My Eheart's so heavy it's a low-down dirty Amshame oh Fyes
But you gotta Ckeep on goin', Amon that road to nowhere
Gotta Ckeep on goin', though Amthere's no one to care
            C                 F|  C|  C7|
Just keep mo-ovin' down the line
[Middle 8]
I got a Frock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
And the Ccool grass for my bed
My Fdrinking water's muddy so don't you tell me, buddy
That I D7wouldn't be better off Gdead
[Verse 3]
                                                  C|  C7| % |
It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time
                                                         F|  C7| % |
And if she don't come and get me, well, I'm gonna lose my mind
So, if you Eread about me tell her she's the one to Amblame, oh Fyes
You gotta Ckeep on goin', Amon that road to nowhere
Gotta Ckeep on goin', though Amthere's no one to care
Just keep Cmo-Fovin' down the Cline
[Outro]
 FMovin’ down the Cline
 FMovin’ down the Cline
