On and On
Endless Highway of Heartache: Bill Monroe's Tale of Lost Love
Lyrics
Traveling down this long lonesome highway
Expressing the journey on a lonely highway, suggesting a sense of solitude.
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Conveying intense loneliness, comparing it to the point of tears.
Memories of how we once loved each other
Recalling past love and shared memories with a sense of nostalgia.
And now you are saying goodbye
Acknowledging the painful reality of saying goodbye to the loved one.
On and on I'll follow my darling
Expressing the determination to continue following and seeking the beloved.
And I wonder where she can be
Expressing curiosity about the current whereabouts of the beloved.
On and on I'll follow my darling
Reiterating the commitment to follow the beloved persistently.
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
Wondering if the beloved ever thinks about the narrator in return.
I've cried, I've cried for you little darling
Expressing the emotional pain and sorrow, crying for the beloved.
It breaks my heart to hear your name
Highlighting the heartbreak caused by the mere mention of the beloved's name.
My friends they also love you my darling
Indicating that even friends share affection for the beloved and may blame the narrator.
And they think that I am to blame
Suggesting a sense of responsibility or guilt felt by the narrator in the eyes of friends.
On and on I'll follow my darling
Repeating the determination to persistently follow the beloved.
And I wonder where she can be
Reiterating the curiosity about the current location of the beloved.
On and on I'll follow my darling
Restating the commitment to follow the beloved continuously.
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
Continuing to wonder if the beloved ever reflects on the narrator.
I have to follow you my darling
Stating the necessity of following the beloved, unable to sleep without them.
I can't sleep when the sun goes down
Linking the inability to sleep to the absence of the beloved.
By your side is my destination
Declaring the beloved's side as the ultimate destination.
The road is clear and that's where I'm bound
Emphasizing a clear path towards the beloved's side as the goal.
On and on I'll follow my darling
Reaffirming the determination to persistently follow the beloved.
And I wonder where she can be
Expressing ongoing curiosity about the whereabouts of the beloved.
On and on I'll follow my darling
Reiterating the commitment to follow the beloved consistently.
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
Continuing to wonder if the beloved ever contemplates the narrator.
