highway of sorrow

I once had a darling wife kind, true and sweet
Life was so bright and gay everything complete
But I fell for another who led my life astray
So Ill live in sorrow till my dying day
Down the highway of sorrow Im traveling alone
Ive lost all my true friends Ive lost a happy home
Im heading for destruction Im on the wrong track
Down the highway of sorrow theres no turning back
I went back to my darling I got down on my knees
I begged her with tear rimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease
But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive
So Ill live in sorrow as I long as I live
