Riding out I heard somebody calling
I turned around to see where it came from
I saw visions of the past, those who'd gone before
I turned and saw them all go walking down
Ancient highway, ancient highway
Ancient highway, ancient highway
Turned my horse towards the burning sunset
Found a place where I could lay my head
But as I lay down to sleep I heard somebody weep
I turned and saw this young girl walking down
That ancient highway, ancient highway
Ancient highway, ancient highway
All my life that Celtic ray's been calling me
And I've never had a place to call my own
The friends I've had and lost, all havе paid the cost
When they choosе to live their lives upon that old
Ancient highway, ancient highway
