Lost Highway

Headed down the lost highway

Haven’t seen another soul out here in days

Lord, I’ve gone so astray

How will I ever get back now, lord

Ever get back now?

When I first headed down this road

I should have known where it would go, lord

There were plenty of signs along the way

But I paid them no mind, lord

I paid them no mind

I know, it’s a dead-end road I’m headed down

I know, it’s a dead-end road, gotta turn around

So I’m out here on my own

Nothin’ but me and the open road, lord

And there’s nothing standing in my way

Yet I’ve never been so chained, lord

Never been so chained

I know, it’s a dead-end road I’m headed down

I know, it’s a dead-end road, gotta turn around

I’m tired of laying my head down

On the cold and unhallowed ground

Of listening to the hollow sound

Of the howling hounds

And they’re making their rounds

They’re bound to run me down one of these days

 

Hear that lonesome whistle whine

You can hear it moan for a hundred miles

And it recalls all I’ve left behind

And I hang my head and cry, lord

Hang my head and cry

I know, it’s a dead-end road I’m headed down

I know, it’s a dead-end road, gotta turn around
