Walking your highway at sunset
Smelling the smoke from your fires
Hearing your business transactions
Over the telephone wires
Me I’m a beggar I carry my world
Wrapped up in an old leather bag
I don’t want your fortune
And I don’t want your girl
And I don’t want your riches to rags
Look in my face, see a wise man
I know I don’t know
Look at this place, some take my hand
Nowhere together we’ll go
But I will never be lonely
Just because there’s no one on this road
No no I never will be lonely
Even if there is no one in this world
Heaven and hell you can offer me too
But I cannot afford your price
And I ain’t afraid of Beelzebub’s fire
And I don’t want your paradise
Where can I go then, what can I do,
What how and where should I die?
Oh don’t you know, ask it of someone,
Truly he’ll always lie.
But I will never be lonely
Just because there’s no one on this road
No no I never will be lonely
Even if there is no one in this world
Walking your highway at sunset
Smelling the smoke from your fires
Hearing you crying of freedom
Over the telephone wires
