Endless Highway
(Robbie Robertson)
Take a silver dollar, put it in your pocket, never let it slip away Always be a man not a boy gone astray
When you 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’
Looks like to me this time I won’t be buyin’
You’re gonna walk that endless highway
Walk that highway till you die
And 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 quick you’ll be eatin’ from the poison peanut machines 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 highway till you die
And all you children goin’ my way
Better tell your home life sweet sweet goodbye
