I'm travelin' down the lonesome road of sorrow Paving the highway with tears Without your love I face a blue tomorrow Paving the highway with tears
You found another sweetheart that's why I couldn't stay Though I still love you darling I'm only in your way So step by step I walk away from heaven Paving the highway with tears I've cried for you if every step I've taken Paving the highway with tears The road ahead is lonesome and forsaken When I look back at all those happy years
I'll always love darling I'm sure your new love fail You'll find me if you'll follow the teardrops on the trail Without you dear I'll just go on forever Paving the highway with tears
