Life was so bright and gay everything complete

I fell for another who led my life astray

And now I live in sorrow till my dyin day

Chorus:

Now the highway of sorrow I’m travelin along

I’ve lost all my true friends I’ve lost a happy home

I’m headed for destruction I’m on the wrong track

Down the highway of sorrow there’s no turnin back

I went back to my darlin and I got down on my knees

I begged her with tear filled eyes to give my poor heart ease

But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive

Now I live in sorrow as long as I live

Chorus:

Now the highway of sorrow I’m travelin along…

Sing chorus twice…end
