It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone
               F                                                C
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)
Just keep movin' down the line


C
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
F                                                       C
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)           C7
Just keep movin' down the line


F
I gotta 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


C
It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time
F
And if she don't come and get me
    C
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
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)
Just keep movin' down the line


(C F) C
Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
