GREENWOLFE 1962 - Love's Lost Highway

I don't know when I took the turn
That put me on this road.
I guess I missed the sign that said,
'Where broken hearts abode.'

I've walked this lonely road so long
I really could not say,
How many times I've stopped to love
Along 'Love's Lost Highway.'

And I really don't remember
How many years it's been.
I hope I've many miles to go
Before I love again.

I haven't spent a lot of time
At stops along the way.
But sometimes we just have to put
Our lonely hearts in play.

And so today I stopped to rest
To taste of love once more.
But once again she broke my heart,
As others have before.

So now it's time I journey on,
I've thrown my heart away.
And lost my love again somehow,
Along 'Love's Lost Highway.'
