Concrete Cowboys - The End of Highway 5 lyrics

rate me

They dragged the river yesterday

Called every hospital from here to Santa Fe Some say he finally drank too much to stay alive

But I think he's at the end of Highway 5

Didn't leave a note explainin' why

Didn't tell his wife and kids goodbye

The only thing that's missin' is his Chevy 4 Wheel-drive

And I'd bet it's at the end of Highway 5

Chorus:

Just south of San Diego where the concrete meets the wall

There's a place called Tijuana where a man could lose it all

Find himself inside a bottle or a new will to survive

On the edge of Mexico, at the end of Highway 5

He started work at seventeen

Like all the rest of us he bought into the dream

30 years later it still had yet to arrive

Now he's lookin' at the end of Highway 5

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Everybody's cryin' to the county sheriff

'Bout a killer on the loose

A family man doesn't just disappear

With no excuse

They've been beatin' all the bushes in the city park

Thinkin' that he's still around

They'd be better off followin'

That highway outta town

SOLO

Repeat Chorus
