Endless highway

Take a silver dollar and put it in your pocket
never let it slip away
always be a man, not a boy gone astray
when ya get half crazy from the august heat
or on a frozen, rotted road
with no one to complain to about your achin' feet
You're gonna walk that endless highway
walk that highway till you die
all you children goin' my way
better tell your home-life sweet goodbye
When i see a detour up ahead
well, i leave it far behind
who knows what you're apt to find there
with the cost of livin', and the price of dyin'
well it look like to me this time i won't be buyin'
You're gonna walk that endless highway
walk that highway till you die
all you children goin' my way
better tell your home-life sweet goodbye
When they get a scapegoat by the throat
it's hard labour and cold beans
if ya get away real quick
you'll be eatin' from the poison peanut machine
well, i sing by night, wander by day
i'm on the road and it looks like i'm here to stay
You're gonna walk that endless highway, endless highway
walk that highway till you die
all you children goin' my way, goin' my way
better tell your home-life sweet goodbye
