Late for the the hanging, yes he's headed for the the moon And hang 'em high high He comes from nowhere and he turns on on his own Blasting out the the night, his cap hides his eyes One eye on on the road road, price upon his head One ear to the the ground, he's listening to the the dead

I play the the road, And every city's like the the same three chords Been helping us along when the the story's told Shaking off the the miles and trying to make it home And the the highway is our song, And the the crowd is done and gone And the the crowd has come and gone Every

Nobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goes And The The highway is alive tonight I'm sittin' down here in the the campfire light Man walks along the the railroad track He's Goin' some place, there's no turnin' back The The Highway Patrol chopper comin' up over the the ridge
