There's a long highway in your mind The spirit road that you must find To get you home to peace again Where you belong my love lost friend
When you're alone You cheat yourself You paint yourself in a dark, dark place
You get your shoes And get your hat Get out here while you still can There's nothin' right that you can say You keep on talkin' anyway and everyone seems to turn on you There's nothing right that you can ever do
Spirit road Spirit road Spirit road Spirit road
Now you're on that long highway in your mind The spirit road that you had to find You're headed home to peace again Where you belong my love lost friend
You stop to eat You start to drink But you don't stop and you don't think You lost your keys You're on your knees You're on your back and lookin' up in the trees
And the night swirls for a little girl A speck of dust in the giant world There's a spirit road that you must find A long highway in your mind Spirit road Spirit road Spirit road Spirit road
There's a long highway in your mind The spirit road that you must find To get you home to peace again Where you belong my love lost friend
Don't feed that snake That turns on you You starve it out, that's what you do
And it makes you lie It makes you cheat It steals your shoes and cuts your feet
The snake keeps feeding through the night You lose your soul without a fight There's nothin' right that you can say You keep on talkin' anyway
There's a long highway in your mind The spirit road that you must find Peace again Peace again
There's a long highway in your mind The spirit road that you must find To get you home to peace again Where you belong my love lost friend
When you're alone You cheat yourself You paint yourself in a dark, dark place
Get your hat Get your shoes Get out here while you still can still choose
