[Intro]
C
| | % | % | % |
[Verse 1]
C C7
| | % |
It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone
F C7
| | % |
And it's a mean old world when you got no one to call your own
E Am F
And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes
C Am
But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
C Am
Gotta keep on goin', though there'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
E Am F
My heart's so heavy it's a low-down dirty shame oh yes
C Am
But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
C Am
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no one to care
C F C C7
| | |
Just keep mo-ovin' down the line
[Middle 8]
F
I got a rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
C
And the cool grass for my bed
F
My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me, buddy
D7 G
That I wouldn't be better off dead
[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
E Am F
So, if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes
C Am
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
C Am
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no one to care
C F C
Just keep mo-ovin' down the line
[Outro]
F C
Movin’ down the line
F C
Movin’ down the line
(repeat and fade)
