(It's a) Long Lonely Highway
download
(Pomus / Schuman)
Informação:
(It’s a) Long Lonely Highway foi escrita por Doc Pomus e Mort
Shuman e gravada por Elvis em 27 de maio de 1963, nos estúdios da RCA em
Nashville. O lançamento em single, que era um take alternativo daquele
utilizado na versão em LP, não entrou nas tabelas, muito embora tenha sido
por pouco, ficando durante duas semanas na 112ª posição. Elvis cantou Long Lonely Highway no seu filme de 1965, Tickle Me.
Letra:
It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone
And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to
call your own
And you pass through towns too small to even have
a name, oh yeah
But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to
nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care,
just keep movin' down the line
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on
being cried
My heart's so heavy, it's a low down dirty shame,
oh yeah
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care,
just keep movin' down the line
I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
and the cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy, so don't you tell me,
buddy, that I wouldn't be better off dead
It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the
time
And if she don't come and get me well, I'm gonna lose my mind
So if you read about me, tell her she's the one to
blame, oh yeah
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care,
just keep movin' down the line
Movin' down the line, movin' down the line...
