Heavy Toll

I was told that this here road

Is where the whiskey flows

And the good times roll

I was known to know where my seeds were sown

And I'd never let the devil steal my soul

But lately I've been running high and running low

Seems just like there's nowhere else to go

Till I am a gray man like a greyhound bus

I'll be bound for somewhere else I can't call home

I may be hellbound on this highway

But baby, my way and the way

That this world goes

It either praises me, or it stand opposed

Ain't this the way that life told me to go?

So I'll let this road take it's heavy toll

I was told that this here road could take the soul

Of a decent man

And turn him ice cold

The white lines get you high

And the cries from a crowd

Could keep a man from feeling low

But temptation lurks in every town

So boy, you best just keep that hammer down

Don't think you're invincible

At any point this life can turn around

I may be hellbound on this highway

But baby, my way and the way

That this world goes

It either praises me, or it stand opposed

Ain't this the way that life told me to go?

So I'll let this road take it's heavy toll

I just want to say thank you Lord

Thank you for showing me where I belong

I know you're trying to test me, Lord

But I won't let the devil tagalong

No matter how hard it gets to carry on

I may be hellbound on this highway

But baby, my way and the way

That this world goes

It either praises me, or it stand opposed

Ain't this the way that life told me to go?

So I'll let this road take it's heavy toll
