There's a road on the edge of town
I saw a girl falling to the ground
Pleading for mercy on the lost highway
People they just turned in fear
Looked to the ground and closed their ears
While the women lay bleeding
On the lost highway
On the lost highway
Wipe that blood from your hands from your hands
Don't let go
On the lost highway
Wipe that blood from your hand from your hands
Don't let go
They shot the king and they killed the king
Stole a feather from an angel's wing
And took it all form granted on the last highway
The devil danced and the angel screamed
The city burning with gasoline
The huddled masses were a dying on the last highway
On the Lost Highway
Wipe that blood from your hands from your hands don't let go
On the Lost Highway
Wipe that blood from your hands from your hands don't let go
Hold on brother river ride is not for free
Hold on brother there's a place for you and me
I stood alone on the edge of town, I heard the rumble of the cars roll on
Blood dreams and fear on the lost highway
As the morning sun began to shine, I thought of the girl a murderous crime
Unforgiven sin on the lost highway
On the lost highway
Wipe that blood from your hand from your hands don't let go
On the lost highway
Wipe that blood from your hand from your hand don't let go
Stood alone in the freezing rain I heard the girl calling out my name
Pleading for mercy on the lost highway
And I swear to god if I could cry, I'd wipe these tears from these dirty eyes
And maybe I would see the beauty of the lost highway
On the Lost Highway,
Wipe that blood from your hand from your hand
Don't let go
On the Lost Highway,
Wipe that blood from your hand from your hand
Don't let go
On the Lost Highway,
Wipe that blood from your hand from your hand
Don't let go
On the Lost Highway,
Wipe that blood from your hand from your hand
Don't let go
