"Highway Love Letter" lyrics

They say life is a gamble
And the house always wins
I'll never be alone
I got a Siamese twin

Be careful who your friends are
They too play the game
Your nemesis and your brother-in-arms
Can be one in the same

A chandelier in the middle of the road
A butler hitching a ride
Champagne bottle spilling in the gutter
Glitter in a dead dog's eye

An unlucky lotto winner
His great godly million-dollar bill
You're gonna wanna stick around for this one
It's the thrill of the kill

I'm living my one life in peril
Like a conductor derailed
Whizzing into the dark night plains
With a load of flaming hay bales

I'm living proof of a stiff upper lip
And a devil-may-care attitude
It was love before it was love-hate
And I'm still in love with you
It was love before it was love-hate
And I'm still in love with you

100 years before I was born
My destiny's been sworn
Look there and watch the sky open up
Hear the sound of the silver horns
A band is playing
A band is playing out there
That's not a mirage

A band is playing
A band is playing out there
They started in the devil's garage

The next city is comin' along
They all look just about the same
When the wind starts kicking up in your face
And there's blood in the rain

They say life is a gamble
One day the house will lose
It was love before it was love-hate
And I'm still in love with you
