My daddy told me son remember
Come what may you've gotta stand your ground
But he never told me about a woman

And how she'd take my life somehow
The day I told her that i loved her
And I gave my heart away

Down a lonesome road of endless sorrow
I've drifted on a lost highway


Chorus
Now I know not where I'm going
Or where I'll be from day to day

The only thing I know for certain
I'm forever on a lost highway


This road I'm on is black with darkness
With no shelter from the rain
There's a cold wind always blowin'

And my heart is filled with pain
My body trembles when i picture
A memory that still remains

Someday I'll sleep not to awaken
And I'll be free of this lost highway


Repeat chorus
