A high road, low road, some old side road Really don't matter to me it gets me back to you Jet plane, fast train, bus in a hard rain, any ol' way you please If it gets me back to you Young man, big shot, gotta see what's out there Leave town, hung around, what the hell does he care Corner park, broken heart, girl in her home town Porch light every night, hoping that he comes around A high road, low road, some old side road Really don't matter to me if it gets me back to you Hitchhike, motor bike, any ol' way you like, crawling on my knees If it gets me back to you Somewhere out there the world's on his shoulder Each night the same stuff the world's getting colder Dreams die slow as a boy becomes a man High road, low road, any way he can A high road, low road, some old side road Really don't matter to me If it gets me back to you Jet plane, fast train, bus in a hard rain, any ol' way you please If it gets me back to you Hitchhike motor bike, any ol' way you like, crawling on my knees If it gets me Oh, a high road low road, some old side road Really don't matter to me If it gets me back to you Jet plane, fast train, bus in a hard rain, any ol' way you please If it get me back to you A high road low road, some old side road A high road low road, some old side road A high road low road, some old side road
