as i wander down
the long lonesome highway
i meet other people on the way
the broken hearted lovers
who've been left along the byway
living by night and hiding from the day

the people i meet
as i go on my way
they all have a story to tell
how they once had a lover
who left them on the byway
to wander this lonesome hell

and if you know, don't let me go (3X)
i love you so (2X)

so as i carry on
down the long lonesome highway
i meet other people on the way
more broken hearted lovers
who've been left along the byway
living by night and hiding from the day

and if you know, don't let me go (3X)
cause i love you so
i love you so (9X)
