Lincoln Highway Lyrics

One lonely night out on Old Lincoln Highway A wayward son trucking on

I got a fright driving thru the night of a vision that did not belong

Out on the road pulling my load In the gloomy shadows of dawn

I saw a red deuce lowboy Roadster driven by a demon spawn

If you're ever on Old Lincoln Highway Before your trip is done

Keep a lookout for that phantom roadster Racing the rising sun

In the mists of my rear view mirror headlights struck like lightning bolts

I squinted hard as it came nearer its ghostly hair gave me a jolt

He came out of nowhere In the morning sun's glare

He came a knocking on my door I had a due date delivering hot freight

When he strode up from a Stygian shore

If you're ever on Old Lincoln Highway Before your trip is done

Keep a lookout for that phantom roadster Racing the rising sun

On the Old Highway-- Then came the sun's rays

Beyond the valleys' view Semi and roadster Cruising alone, sir

It was just us two

Just then I realized the sun was rising I blinked and he was gone

I'll ever ponder everywhere I wander My ghoulish rider at dawn

If you're ever out on Old Lincoln Highway Before your trip is done

Keep a lookout for a racked up roadster Racing the rising sun Waaahoooooo
