          A5                        C5
Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again
        G5                    A5
You get nothin' for nothin', expect it when
       F5                          G5
You're back seat drivin' and your hands ain't on  
    A5
the wheel
     A5          C5
It's easy to go along with the crowd
    G5                       A5
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
   F5                 G5                     A5
Oh that's the way to find what you've been missin'

[chorus]:
A5      D5       A5          A5
So I'm heading out to the highway
      D5          A5       E5
I got nothin' to lose at all
    D5        A5     A5
I'm goin' to do it my way
       D5      A5        E5
Take a chance before I fall
D5        A5        A5   C5 A5 
A chance before I fall

[intro riff](1x)

You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your biddin'
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
There's miles and miles to put it back together

[chorus]

On the highway...
On the highway...

[lead break]
Makin' a curve or takin' the strain
On the decline, or out on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You weather every storm that's comin' at cha

And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I got nothin' to lose at all...
