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 .'
