On a Lost Highway Lyrics

I was on the lost highway scorching winds blew hard

Had to scream to King Lear get my calling card

But then meddling kids unmasked me, all cry yay

I am one more solved case here on the lost highway

I was on the lost highway the desert was brown

I am ten miles outside an almost ghostly town

I will do their jobs and leave 'fore they steal my pay

We know abuse is on the house on the lost highway

I was on the lost highway there's a grapefruit moon

So I had to quit my smoking it was too soon

And now Elvis forgets the lyrics when he sings My Way

So I crank up Hank, Sr., singing lost highway

Let's get lost

I was on the lost highway and the windshield broke

There is dust all around I start to cough and choke

So I drained a stale daiquiri and toasted Friday

It wasn't, but who would care on a lost highway

I was on the lost Highway the sands were bright red

Sands were bright red

And I stopped to count the folks who thought us dead

Who thought us dead

Well now Clowns and CPAs want to be in my play

Be in my play

We got parts for all who are here on the lost highway

I was on the lost Highway and you were there too

Were there too

I could see in your eyes you didn't know what to do

What to do

Were we banished was it chance as some might say

Some might say

To trudge in pre-judgement on a lost Highway

On a lost highway
