He was walking down the highway

And you saw him strageling along

And you reached out, opened up your door

And you gave him a ride to your heavenly home



Got his mother, she don't listen

And his father, hated his old man

But you listened to his feelings

And your eyes consistantly understand

Yes, your eyes consistantly understand



(chourus)

He was a good man, he lived a good life

He was a good man, he lived a good life

But he was dancing to the bright lights

He was dying for some love



Will you see him with his guitar

Down the highway he would walk along

Singing old songs, singing someday blues

But the school bells were his only song

Yea, the school bells were his only song



Through the fire, through the lying sun

Through the smoke and the fog, through a day thats done

There was strength then, there was hope, and life

There was strings of peace from the other side

There was strings of peace from the other side



(chourus)

He was a good man, he lived a good life

He was a good man, he lived a good life

But he was dancing to the bright lights

He was dying for some love



(bridge)

Don't you see he's falling away

Thank God for the love that you gave

Only love can put out a fire

And all your love was calling him higher and higher



(chourus) X2

He was a good man, he lived a good life

He was a good man, he lived a good life

But he was dancing to the bright lights

He was dying for some love



And you were right there for the hard times

You were right there again and again

Again and again

Again and again

Again and again



He was walking down the highway

And you gave him a ride to your heavenly home

You gave him a ride to your heavenly home
