Highway of Pain

As I walk down this valley

clouds are rolling in

The winds icy fingernails are clawing at my skin

There’s snow on the mountain and it looks like it’s gonna rain

As I walk down this highway of pain.

This highway of pain

Don’t lead no where at all

Miles and miles of loneliness

And just trying not to fall

And I swear I’ll forget you

I won’t even remember your name

As I walk down this highway of pain

The river is risin’ darkened by the mud

The bridge is gone, There’s no way back…

Been ripped out by the flood

Too deep to walk, too wide to swim

It would freeze my very soul

Got to walk down this highway in the cold

This highway of pain

Don’t lead nowhere at all

Miles and miles of loneliness

And just trying not to fall

But I swear I’ll forget you

I won’t even remember your name

As I walk down this highway of pain.

The flowers of springtime

Are beaten to the ground

The warm days of summer

Are no where to be found

The words of love

I spoke to you

I’ll never speak again

As I walk down this highway of pain

This highway of pain

Don’t lead no where at all

Miles and miles of loneliness

Just trying not to fall

But I swear I’ll forget you

I won’t even remember your name

As I walk down this highway of pain

As I walk down this highway of pain
