Too many sweethearts and none of them true done too many things that I shouldn't do
Made lots of money all spent the wrong way headin' down the wrong highway
Made lots of friends but now they're all gone too many mem'ries that still linger on
Too many drinks each night and day headin' down the wrong highway

[ steel ]
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 headin' down the wrong highway
Lost everything lost all of my friends God only knows how this all will end
Thinking and drinking each night and day headin' down the wrong highway
