Well that highway won't get you to heaven
Won't get you to heaven and it never will
Well that highway won't get you nowhere
Won't get you nowhere and it never will
Well I woke up in the cradle
Now I'm walking like a broken man
I might leave you all my troubles
Where I'm going, I can't take them along
And that highway won't get you to heaven
Won't get you to heaven and it never will
Well that highway won't get you nowhere
Won't get you nowhere and it never will
All your riches were turned to rubbish
When you find out what you've been
You'll find that the only place that road is going
Is to your grave
And that highway won't get you to heaven
Won't get you to heaven and it never will
Well that highway won't get you nowhere
Won't get you nowhere and it never will
I was watching that old railroad
And that highway eatin' up the land
The sun was shining, burned my face off
Now I'm hiding from this world
And that highway won't get you to heaven
Won't get you to heaven and it never will
Well that highway won't get you nowhere
Won't get you nowhere and it never will
And it never will!
