Highway to Oblivion
© 4/2/2023 Michael Hanson Cantwell

Verse 1
On a dark, winding mountain road, I took the dare
I saw a sign up ahead, said "Danger, beware"
I thought to myself, "What could go wrong?"
My radio started playing a sad Blues song

Pre-Chorus
No cars, no stars, no moon
In my gut, the feel of doom
Drivin' down this road like there's no past
Kicking up dust, taking curves too fast

Chorus
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
On a fast run with a gun
Wanna' see the morning sun
Got reasons for what I've done
In the end, it's clear, no one won

Post Chorus
Who I've been, she's forgiven my sins
As I race down this road, with a heart full of adrenaline
I'll chase the wind, and curse those damn demons
On the road to hell, with no hope of redeeming

Verse 2
I stopped at a roadside bar, to drown my sorrows away
That's when I met her, with eyes like a stormy day
She whispered in my ear, "I know a place we can go"
"Let's ride" I sighed. But oh, little did I know

Chorus
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
On a fast run with a gun
Wanna' see the morning sun
Got reasons for what I've done
In the end, it's clear, no one won

Post Chorus
Who I've been, she's forgiven my sins
As I race down this road, with a heart full of adrenaline
I'll chase the wind, and curse my damn demons
On the road to hell, with no hope of redeeming

Bridge
Evil in the dark of night
Gray Spirits hide on a curve
Cliffs hang above great heights
Dust winds blur our sight
My mind has become numb
I put my hand on my gun

Chorus
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
On a fast run with a gun
Wanna' see the morning sun
Got reasons for what I've done
In the end, it's clear, no one won

Chorus
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
Welcome to the Highway to Oblivion
