highway for the dead
verse 1
it was a cold winter mornin
just as day was dawnin
comin home in my rusty truck to you
when i opened up the door
my heart hit the floor
as i saw him layin there with you
chorus
verse 2
when i pulled my 45
i saw fear in their eyes
then shot em in the chest
as they lay there dyin
she started cryin
an said sorry i tried my very best
chorus
verse 3
i headed for my truck
without a second look
an let the old girls engine roar
i drove off the driveway
headed right for the highway
doin close to 84
chorus
with tears in my eyes
i didnt see the signs
the bridge was out up ahead
my foot was on the floor
now doin 84
down the highway for the dead
down the highway for the dead
