Highway to Nowhere
Jim Reeves · Country Music Legend [Legacy] [2005]
I'm traveling the highway to nowhere
'Cause I can't find the road to your heart
This old road is so rough and so rocky
I get lost on the highway to your heart.
This highway to nowhere keeps calling
Your heart's at the end of the line
But I always get lost on a detour
I guess I don't understand the signs.
--- Instrumental ---
I've travelled this highway so long now
But I know I'm no closer to your heart
Down this long lonesome road I'll keep traveling
Though I know I've been lost from the start.
This highway to nowhere I'll follow
The road's dark but I keep trudging on
And tomorrow I'll be back where
I started it's the highway to nowhere that I'm on...
