Endless Highway [Before the Flood]

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 cra-zy from the August heat Or on a frozen, rutted road With no one to complain to about your achin' feet You're gonna walk that endless highway Walk that high-way 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 t'me this time I won't be buyin' You're gonna walk that endless highway Walk that high-way 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 labour and cold beans If ya get away 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 Walk that high-way till you die All you children goin' my way Better tell your home-life sweet goodbye
