[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
