(For Every Inch I've Laughed) I've Cried a Mile

The road of love is rocky

It's lonely and it's blue

When the one that you dream of

Walks on ahead of you

Well I laughed the night she left me

Said she'd come back after a while

But for every inch I laughed I cried a mile

It's a mighty lonesome feeling

When you go to bed at night

And there's nothing but a pillow

And a memory on your right

Oh if man was born to suffer

Well I guess I'm right in the style

For every inch I've laughed I cried a mile

I laughed and said a new love

Would be easy to find

And I was right there's so easy

In all the wrong kind

As I travelled down life's highway

It hardly seems worthwhile

For every inch I've laughed I cried a mile

It's a mighty lonesome feeling

When you go to bed at night

And there's nothing but a pillow

And a memory on your right

Oh if man was born to suffer

Well I guess I'm right in the style

'Cause every inch I've laughed I cried a mile

Yes if man was born to suffer

Well I guess I'm right in the style

'Cause every inch I've laughed I cried a mile
