Lyrics
Headin' Down The Wrong Highway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Too many sweethearts and none of them true too many things that I shouldn't do
Made lots of money all spent the wrong way heading down the wrong highway
Made lots of friends and now they're all gone too many mem'ries that still linger on
Too many dreams whole night and day heading down the wrong highway
[ piano ]
Too many heartaches and too many tears crowded too much in just a few years
Want to go right but I've lost my way heading down the wrong highway
Lost everything lost all my friends God only knows how this all will ends
Drinking and gambling each night and day heading down the wrong highway
