"Highway Song" lyrics

Life ain't nothing but a highway
We all have to travel down
You're in charge of your destination
Till they lay you in the ground

All the roads that I've taken
Chasing liquor and smoke
Makes me wonder if I'm gonna make it
To the end of my road

Pearly gates or fallen flames
What's waiting for me on the other side?
Hell-filled nights turn to bloodshot eyes
Feels like Heaven must be a hundred thousand miles away
I hope Heaven ain't really that far away
Tell me Heaven ain't really that far away

I tend to hide my desolation
But try to find a bottom of another glass
Hell's all fun and games till it isn't, no
But at least I ain't chasing what's never coming back
No, it's never coming back, no

Pearly gates, yeah, or fallen flames
What's waiting for me on the other side?
Those hell-filled nights, they never treat me right
Feels like Heaven must be a hundred thousand miles away
I hope Heaven ain't really that far away
I hope Heaven ain't really that far away
Someone tell me Heaven ain't really that far away
I hope Heaven ain't really that far away
