slim dusty – lonesome road of tears lyrics
i’m drivin’ down the highway, and struck this b-mpy 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.
