Highway of Life Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

On a long whining road
Just aside of nowhere
The whiper will wobble
It′s force through the night

There's a hungry old hound
Checking sacks in the bar cage
This long song is hell long
The highway of life

All the cowboys, they arrive
On the two-wheeled monsters
Like a big giant serpent
They blind through the night

Just a shaken ain′t change
Like a dime and back rattler
This danger is as hell long
The highway of life


On the highway of life
There will be chances taken
On the highway of life
Don't you be mistaken

You drive or you ride
You fight or you die
Somehow you survive
On the highway of life

There's good and there′s bad
The wrong and right way
The dark and the light
And something between

So you try to stay straight
And you mind your own business
You keep yourself real man
We watch what you dream

On the highway of life
There will be chances taken
On the highway of life
Don′t you be mistaken


You drive or you ride
Oh, you laugh and you cry
Somehow you get by
On the highway of life

Yeah, you keep moving on
On the highway of life

Thank you
Thanks a lot
I'd like to say
Can we do a new song?
We′re doing some new songs for you here
And supposed to tow my thumb here
Maybe being better now
