The Lonely Highway

The road that even saints are bound
Is one that no one wants to go down
But take all the detour signs you want
You will end up there either way

Some say that it’s pure golden
Some say its darkness and gloom
You can call it what you will
The road is to be your doom

The lonely highway
The lonely highway

Its curse on your ears will be deafening
Its curse on your eyes will leave you squinting
Brand lines on your face every mile you go
And leave your mind part broken

You may go down there on accident
Or when you hear a calling voice
You may go down there way to soon
Or simply by your own damn choice

The lonely highway
The lonely highway

Some people have near misses
Some people turn back halfway
Some go down with a brutal fight
And some go down like a piece a cake

But like every road, it meets its end
There it’s where ya meet your family and friends
The light at the end of the tunnel will cease
So you can finally rest in peace

The lonely highway
The lonely highway

The road that even saints are bound
Is one that no one wants to go down
Take all the detour signs you want
You will end up there either way
