Well me and my friend we walked to the splitnThen I headed on home and he headed outboundnI didn’t listen to himnBut you can take it from JimnIt’s a highwaynIt’s a highwaynHighway to lowdownnnIf you’re tired, why don’t you just go to sleepnAnd if you’re wired I’ll be your brother, you can be my keepnAnd all these fires, Jim, they just keep following you aroundnnYou can’t get found if you’re anything like my good friend JamesnHe wasn’t even underground, I think he was playing all them faster gamesnI bet you can’t slow downnYou’ll be a running man while you praynnIts a highwaynnSome call it a road and some call it a streetnWell say what you will, it leads right out of townnTo a desolate landnIt will mess up your plansnnIt’s a highway to lowdown
