He was walking down the highway
And you saw him strageling along
And you reached out, opened up your door
And you gave him a ride to your heavenly home
Got his mother, she don't listen
And his father, hated his old man
But you listened to his feelings
And your eyes consistantly understand
Yes, your eyes consistantly understand
(chourus)
He was a good man, he lived a good life
He was a good man, he lived a good life
But he was dancing to the bright lights
He was dying for some love
Will you see him with his guitar
Down the highway he would walk along
Singing old songs, singing someday blues
But the school bells were his only song
Yea, the school bells were his only song
Through the fire, through the lying sun
Through the smoke and the fog, through a day thats done
There was strength then, there was hope, and life
There was strings of peace from the other side
There was strings of peace from the other side
(chourus)
He was a good man, he lived a good life
He was a good man, he lived a good life
But he was dancing to the bright lights
He was dying for some love
(bridge)
Don't you see he's falling away
Thank God for the love that you gave
Only love can put out a fire
And all your love was calling him higher and higher
(chourus) X2
He was a good man, he lived a good life
He was a good man, he lived a good life
But he was dancing to the bright lights
He was dying for some love
And you were right there for the hard times
You were right there again and again
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
He was walking down the highway
And you gave him a ride to your heavenly home
You gave him a ride to your heavenly home
