Too many sweethearts and none of them true
Done too many things that I shouldn't do
I made lots of money all spent the wrong way
Headin' down the wrong highway
I made lots of friends but now they're all gone
Too many mem'ries that still linger on
I had too many drinks both night and day
Headin' down the wrong highway
[ fiddle ]
Too many heartaches and too many tears
Crowded too much in just a few years
I want to go right but I've lost my way
Headin' down the wrong highway
I've lost everything lost all my friends
God only knows how this all will end
Drinking and gambling both night and day
Headin' down the wrong highway
