Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man
Has got my woman and gone

Hey I've got those blues
I'm wearing out the soles of my shoes
Yes, I've got those blues
I'm wearing out the soles of my shoes
My gal went way and left me
She left me with the doggone blues

Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long - Lord, Lord
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man
Has got my woman and gone

You'll never miss your water until the well runs dry
You'll never miss your water until the well runs dry
You'll never miss your woman until she says goodbye

Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long - Lord, Lord
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man
Has got my woman and gone
Ah, and I wish to the Lord you'd bring my woman back home
Yeah, I wish to the Lord you'd bring my woman back home
I'm not so lonesome
I just don't want to be alone

Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long - Lord, Lord
Lord the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Because another man
Has got my woman and gone...
