Lyrics[]
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 and now they're all gone
Too many memories that still linger on
Had too many drinks both night and day
Headin' down the wrong highway
Too many heartaches and too many tears
Crowded too much in just a few years
I want to go ride but I've lost my way
Headin' down the wrong highway
