THE GRASCALS
"Highway Of Sorrow"
(William S. Monroe / Pete Pyle)

[Chorus:]
Well I won't tell how darling why kind true sweet
Life was so bright and gay I had everything complete
But I felt for another and lead my life astray so now
Within sorrow till my dying days then on the highway
Of sorrow I'm driving alone well I've lost all my true
Friends I've lost a happy home well I'm heading for
Destruction I'm on the wrong track down the highway
Of sorrow well there's no turning back

Well I'll be back to my darling and got down on my knees
Well I begged her till tears turn dark to give my poor heart
In but she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive so why
Live in sorrow as long as I live down the highway of sorrow
And driving alone well I've lost all my true
Friends I've lost a happy home well I'm heading for
Destruction I'm on the wrong track down the highway
Of sorrow well there's no turning back down the highway
Of sorrow well there's no turning back

[Chorus:]
Well I once had a darling wife, kind, true and sweet
Life was so bright and gay, I had everything complete
But I fell for another and lead my life astray
So I'll live in sorrow till my dying days
Down the highway of sorrow, I'm driving alone
Well I've lost all my true friends I've lost a happy home
Well I'm heading for destruction I'm on the wrong track
Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back

[Outro:]
Well I went back to my darling and got down on my knees
Well I begged her through tear rimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease
But she was hurt so deeply that she could not forgive
So I'll live in sorrow as long as I live
Down the highway of sorrow, I'm driving alone
Well I've lost all my true friends I've lost a happy home
Well I'm heading for destruction I'm on the wrong track
Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back
Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back
