HIGHWAY LONELY
(Claude King / Elkin Rippey)

Claude King - 1970




Well I'm trapped in a web of my own makin'
All because your love was easy takin'
You had me believin' that I was the only one
I didn't know you were only having fun

I made a mistake when I went to your house
You played with my emotions like a cat with a mouse
You quit me cold and said we are through
You put me on Highway Lonely going somewhere new

Highway Lonely, oh, where does it go
I've asked everybody, nobody knows
If there's anybody that wonders 'bout me
I'm walking on Highway Lonely, that's where I'll be

(Instrumental Break)

I wish I could stop thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' of all the good times we've had
But while I'm sittin' here with all my thinkin'
You're doing somebody bad

Highway Lonely, oh, where does it go
I've asked everybody, nobody knows
If there's anybody that wonders 'bout me
I'm walking on Highway Lonely, that's where I'll be
I'm walkin' on Highway Lonely, that's where I'll be
