Lyrics
Highway Man
Music & Lyrics © 1992 Paul R Anderson; © Recording 2020 Also Paul Publishing
Highway Man, without your family.
What a price you paid.
All alone with a bag full of memories,
Nowhere to stay.
Your little boy has lost his Daddy;
Little girl – don’t cry
If they could see the love inside you,
Your children would know…
Highway Man, out on the road now.
Back with your best friend.
County roads singin’ all around you
Silent hearts will mend.
You own it all, what lies before you
And what lies ahead.
You only know what the road signs tell you.
The future will know where and when. (short interlude)
(chorus)
Wo-oh-oh Wo-oh-oh Wo – oh
Highway Man just take a stand. Before you go too far.
Highway Man, oh, Highway Man Remember who you are.
Bridge
(repeat chorus)
Wo-oh-oh Wo-oh-oh Wo – oh
Highway Man just take a stand. Before you go too far.
Highway Man, oh, Highway Man Remember who you are.
