Lyrics:

Take a silver dollar and put it in your pocket
Never let it slip away
Always be a man, not a boy gone astray, astray
When you get half crazy from the August heat
Or on a frozen, rotted road
With no one to complain to about your achin' feet
You're gonna walk that endless highway
Walk that highway 'til you die
All you children goin' my way
Better tell your home life sweet goodbye
When I see a detour up ahead
I leave it far behind
Who knows what you're up to find there
With the cost of livin'
And the price of dyin'
It look like to me this time I won't be buyin'

When they get a scapegoat by the throat
It's hard labour and cold beans
If you get away
You'll be eatin from the poison peanut machine
I sing by the night, wander by day
I'm on the road and it looks like I'm here to stay
You're gonna walk that endless highway
Walk that highway 'til you die
All you children goin' my way
Better tell your home life sweet goodbye
Goodbye
Better tell your home life sweet goodbye
