[Intro]

C7


[Verse]

       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             C7
Just keep mo-------vin' down the line


[Verse]

        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
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-------vin' 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
       D                      G
That I wouldn't be better off dead


[Verse]

       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-------vin' down the line
F               C
Movin' down the line
