THE LORD’S HIGHWAY Songtext
von Chris Knight

I used to burn the devil′s gasoline
On the back streets of this town
I did not have no road map
'Til Jesus flagged me down

I′m on the Lord's Highway
The Lord's highway
The Lord′s highway
Comin′ home

I used to pack an old switchblade
Had a pistol in my coat
Now all I got is this good book
The only weapon that I tote


Out on the Lord's Highway
The Lord′s highway
The Lord's highway
Comin′ home

On a hillside in Kentucky
Is where my Momma lays
I wish that she could of
Been here to see me change my way

I took the Lord's Highway
The Lord′s highway
The Lord's highway
Comin' home

I will not fear no fires of hell
When I′m on my dying bed
Cause at the pearly gate
Saying traveler come ahead


You′re on the Lord's Highway
The Lord′s highway
The Lord's highway
Comin′ home
