Well this road that I walk is a mighty lonely road

And this load that I bear is a mighty heavy load

And this song that I sing is a mighty lonely song

I had a true love but I've done her wrong

(He had a true love but he's done her wrong)



Well this road that I walk it has no end

And on this road I walk I have no friends

The people that I pass are people just like me

Doomed to forever walk this road of misery

(He had a true love but he's done her wrong

Now he walks this road of misery alone)



Well this road that I walk is for fools like you

This road that I walk you're gonna walk it too

Each step that you take rules you not very smart

You had a true love but you broke her heart

You had a true love but you done her wrong

Like me you must walk this road of misery alone

You had a true love but you done her wrong

Like me you must walk this road of misery alone
