lyrics

VS 1
I GOT SOME THINGS TO SAY BUT LIFE GETTING IN MY WAY
GOTTA GET ME OUT OF THIS TOWN AND TURN MY LIFE UPSIDE DOWN
MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE OR IN THE AIR AIN’T NOTHING CLEAR
NO-ONE AROUND KNOWS MY NAME, DON’T KNOW IF I’M THE ONE TO BLAME
CHORUS
THERE’S A HIGHWAY AT THE EDGE OF TOWN
NO WAY OUT ONLY TWO LANES DOWN
THERE’S NO RAIN FALLING ON THE GROUND
TO WASH AWAY MY TRACKS IN THIS DUSTY OLD TOWN
VS 2
I’M OUT OF MONEY, I’M OUT OF HOPE I’M OUT OF WAYS FOR MY BODY TO COPE
I READ THE WRITING UP ON THE WALL IT DIDN’T SAY NOTHING AT ALL
AIN’T NO FUT URE NOBODY CARES NOBODY CHANGES NOBODY DARES
CHORUS
I NEED THAT HIGHWAY AT THE EDGE OF TOWN
THERE’S NO WAY UP ONL;Y TWO LANES DOWN
I FEEL THE HEAT SHIMMER ON THE GROUND
IT DON’T HIDE MY TRACKS IN THIS DUSTY OLD TOWN
BRIDGE
I MOVE ALONG ON FEET OF LEAD
I’M HALF ALIVE MAYBE HALF WAY DEAD
I TAKE EACH MINUTE AN HOUR AT ATIME
I’D SELL MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL FOR JUST ONE DIME
I WALK DOWN TO THE HIGHWAY JUST TO TURN ABOUT
I’VE ALWAYS KNOWN THERE AIN’T NO WAY OUT
CHORUS
I HEAR THAT HIGHWAY AT THE DGE OF TOWN
BUT THERE’S NO WAY ACROSS ONLY TWO LANES DOWN
I FEEL THE NIGHT ALWAYS PULLING ME IN
ANOTHER DYING DAY AND THE SHAPE I’M IN

YEAH THERE’S A HIGHWAY AT THE EDGE OF TOWN
NO WAY OUT JUST THE TWO LANES DOWN
THERE’S NO RAIN FALLING TO THE GROUND
TOP WASH AWAY MY TRACKS FROM THIS DUSTY OLD TOWN
IT CAN’T WASH AWAY MY TRACKS FROM THIS DUSTY OLD TOWN
I NEED TO WASH AWAY MY TRACKS FROM THIS DUSTY OLD
DUSTY OLD TOWN

Barry Kingsbeer Stratford Upon Avon, UK

I've played bass and sung since I was 13. Pro back in the sixties for a while doing the beat group thing through to some spectacularly unsuccessful recordings. Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
