Had a job and I worked real hard
Just got paid but it don’t go far
My girlfriend walked and she left the bills
out the door and she’s dressed to kill
I’m gonna head out on the road
and leave this town behind
Point my car toward a star
Don’t look back don’t even mind
Take that highway to the stars
Build:
What do I see now
out my front window
Maybe she’s looking
for somewhere to go to
Someone to go with
out on the highway
Somewhere to go to
out on the road
(out on the road)
Got in my car and we started to ride
into the night and the other side
Said she was going to Hollywood
Get a guitar and play it real good
I dreamed that I would hit the road
and find a new life made of gold
If I could only get a gig
I know someday I’ll make it big
(and) take that highway to the stars
Repeat Build
- Instrumental break -
Now we’re living in Hollywood
Get a job if I only could
She’s on the street most everynight
She’ll get paid if she gets real tight
I thought the streets were paved with gold
but now I see it’s all been sold
Put my guitar back in my car
Point my car toward a star
And I’ll take that highway to the stars (3x)
