Oh, the road of love is rocky And it's lonely and blue When the one you dream of you Walks on ahead of you Well, I laughed the day she left me Said she'd come back in awhile But for every inch I've laughed, I've cried mile It's a mighty lonesome feeling when you go to bed at night And there's nothing but a memory and the pillow on your right Oh, if men were born to suffer Then I guess I'm right in style Cause for every inch I've laughed, I've cried a mile
Well, I laughed and said a new love would be easy to find I was right, their so easy And all the wrong kind As I travel down that highway It hardly seems worthwhile Cause for every inch I've laughed, I've cried a mile It's a mighty lonesome feeling when you go to bed at night And there's nothing but a memory and the pillow on your right Oh, if men were born to suffer Then I guess I'm right in style Cause for every inch I've laughed, I've cried a mile
