Slim Dusty — Lonesome Road Of Tears lyrics

Lyrics

I�??m drivin�?? down the highway, and struck this bumpy by-way
This foolishness has thrown me out of gear
I dunno why I turned off, I only know I�??m burned off
�??Cos I�??m travellin�?? down the lonesome road of tears.
My girl was smart and streamlined smooth as any shear line
But I�??m just like a burnt out model T The signboard reads tomorrow, you�??ll still be chasin�?? sorrow
As you�??re travellin�?? down the lonesome road of tears
In dreams I wander through, those summer nights with you
Oh darlin�?? they were happy times
Now my heart is filled with woe, because I let you go We parted when I crossed the double lines
Now I�??m drivin�?? down the highway, my dreams are just a by-way
As I�??m travelling down the lonesome road of tears
I�??m drivin�?? an�?? I�??m dreamin�??, but the moon above is beamin�??
As if he�??s bubblin�?? over with his beams
Oh I�??d like to try his skyways, moonlit open highways
Instead of travellin�?? down this road of tears
I�??ve tried so hard to show, and let my girlie know
How much I regret my play
I�??ve pleaded and I�??ve lied, yeah, I�??ve hung my head and cried
But she just turns and walks the other way
So I guess it�??s time to wander, my blues are getting�?? stronger
As I�??m movin on down the lonesome road of tears.
Yes travellin�?? down the lonesome road of tears.
