Death On The Highway

Living ain’t easy
But I’ve got the fire in my hands
The dust of tomorrow
Is nothing but gone on the sand
And they try to tell me
What’s right and what’s wrong
They don’t see me coming
They only can hear when I’m gone
For too many years
I have lived in the shadow of life
Nothing I do takes me back
To that place up high
It’s believe or die
When you open your eyes
Follow the path
That leads you right to the death
Crash, burn!
Men on the road
Crash, burn!
I see death on the highway
And there’s no turning back
Death on the highway
Tomorrow never lasts
Death on the highway
Coming from the back
Death on the highway
Tonight
And there is no place you can hide
Nighttime is calling
And the moon is ready and bright
My eyes are flashing
I feel a shiver down my spine
Nowhere to go
But I take the road
‘Cause my wheels are hungry
Burning and ready to roll
Crash, burn!
Men on the road
Crash, burn!
I see death on the highway
And there’s no turning back
Death on the highway
Tomorrow never lasts
Death on the highway
Coming from the back
Death on the highway
Tonight
And there is no place you can hide
Crash, burn!
Men on the road
Crash, burn!
I see death on the highway
And there’s no turning back
Death on the highway
Tomorrow never lasts
Death on the highway
Coming from the back
Death on the highway
Tonight
And there is no place you can hide
Full moon
No lights on the road
