Lyrics

Intro - Solo acoustic guitar

Verse

Woke up this morning, rain upon my door

Woke up this morning, rain upon my door

My baby packed her suitcase, ain't coming back no more

Verse

I walked that lonesome highway, walked it all night long

Walked that lonesome highway, walked it all night long

Every mile I'm traveling, singing this same old song

Chorus

I got the lonesome highway blues, weighing on my mind

Got the lonesome highway blues, weighing on my mind

Left everything behind me, but the pain I cannot find

Verse

The sun don't shine like it used to, shadows everywhere

The sun don't shine like it used to, shadows everywhere

I'm calling out your name, baby, but you don't care

Verse

I got a empty bottle, and a worn-out pair of shoes

Got a empty bottle, and a worn-out pair of shoes

Nothing left to lose now, just these lonesome blues

Chorus

I got the lonesome highway blues, weighing on my mind

Got the lonesome highway blues, weighing on my mind

Left everything behind me, but the pain I cannot find

[[Instrumental Break - Guitar]]

Verse

There's a woman down in Memphis, knows the way I feel

Woman down in Memphis, knows the way I feel

But this road keeps on calling, and my heart won't heal

Verse

When the night comes falling, I hear that whistle blow

When the night comes falling, I hear that whistle blow

Gonna keep on walking, got nowhere else to go

Chorus

I got the lonesome highway blues, deep down in my soul

Got the lonesome highway blues, deep down in my soul

This road is all I know now, and it's taking its toll

Outro - Fading guitar

Keep on walking... keep on walking down that road...
