highway 62

Lyrics

on this day more than any other day, is the time to have a fire, he said to himself all that was left, was to give his friend a last goodby, he would toss the ashes into the desert wind, and fulfill the wish he promised his old friend, peace at last, no more pain, out on highway 62, peace at last, no more pain, out on highway 62, high contane in this tank and his brain, propelled him through hollywood, hip cowboy on his black stead, fallen angels praying he could, make it home and live to see 31, on the wrong side of the law, pure seduction always tempted, by all the crazy things he saw, peace at last, no more pain, out on highway 62, peace at last, no more pain, out on highway 62, you know they're all crazy but they do have faith, and faith cures all ills, the gal with the glass eye behind the bar, slipped him some methydrine pills, if i crash and burn just bury me, with my hog by my side, i'm tired of living i guess i'm ready, to take that long last ride, peace at last, no more pain, out on highway 62, peace at last, no more pain, out on highway 62, it happened one night in a cold desert breeze, the grinding of metal the spinning of wheels, the way all great legends go, before sun up she took a pick up truck, and a backhoe to dig his grave, a match to the flame and all that remains, is a blackened stain, all the foot of joshua tree, peace at last, no more pain, out on highway 62
