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
