Last Lost Highway

By Kevin Welch What have you done, sonny, what have you done You broke our hearts, one by one I'm as angry as they come But I know I must accept it Well, my children cried when they heard the news I held them each and I cried, too Well, you only did what you had to do I should have known to expect it You were on your last, lost highway And there were no turnarounds You were on your last, lost highway You were lost but now you're found Well, I've been having this dream night after night You and me in the campfire light Just a couple of hobos high as a kite And I can hear the songs you're singing Spider John and Angel Band Oh, the Train to Birmingham Well I guess by now I understand The bells for you were ringing It was your last, lost highway And there were no turnarounds You were on your last, lost highway You were lost but now you're found Sing us a song, sonny, sing us a tune Just the way you used to do Elvis, sing us a song, sonny, sing us the moon All we've got left are echoes It was your last, lost highway You couldn't turn that rig around You were on your last, lost highway You were lost but now you're found - A tribute to Pat Long, d.
