Hit 'em boys! Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again You get nothing for nothing: expect it when You're backseat driving, and your hands ain't on the wheel It's easy to go along with the crowd, And find later on that your say ain't allowed Oh that's the way to find what you've been missing So I'm heading out to the highway I got nothing to lose at all I'm gonna do it my way Take a chance before I fall A chance before I fall! 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 bidding 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! And I'm heading out to the highway I got nothing to lose at all I'm gonna do it my way Take a chance before I fall A chance before I fall! On the highway! On the highway! Making a curve or taking 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 coming atcha! And I'm heading out to the highway I got nothin' to lose at all I'm gonna do it my way Take a chance before I fall Yes, I'm heading out to the highway I got nothing to lose at all. I got nothing to lose at all!
