This Last Highway lyrics
Leader’s lost their way
Writers forgot what to say
As day melts into day
On this last highway
Truth crushed into dust
For money, power and lust
Who is there left to trust?
On this last highway
Banned from eating meat
Children begging in the street
Burning up from the heat
On this last highway
I heard they built the lanes
In the driving rain
Using slaves in chains
Just their bloody stains
Are all that remain
On this last highway
Polluting the air
All pretending that they care
Leading us to despair
Down this last highway
Trav’llin all alone
So far away from home
Just tryna reach the unknown
Down this last highway
I heard they built a road
Or so I’ve been told
That it’s paved with gold
Last truck’s took its load
Don’t give in to your soul
This cruel highway
Poorer getting poor
Senators voting for whores
Who’s that knocking at my door
From that last highway
Driver’s shifting gear
The way ahead isn’t clear
He’s got too drunk to steer
On this last highway
Fools marching in time
Wise men joining broken lines
All searching for a sign
On this last highway
All those broken dreams
All those damned uncrossed streams
It makes you wanna scream
From this last highway
