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 labor 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
