Lessons you can never learn
Bridges that you should have burned
Badge of honor you have earned
That no one’s ever seen
Count the patches one by one
Knowing that they’ll come undone
Rain will make the colors run
But while you watch them bleed
The lines go by as the tears you cry
Leave them lying in the shadows
Chorus:
So live like you’ll be forgiven
Breathe like you’ll never die
And ride like the road is ending
Keep the chains around the lie
‘Til the truth unlocks it… Like a Highway Prophet
Start where the journey ends
Find wisdom in the wind
But still ride faster than
Your guardian can fly
Fight for the inner child
Innocence turns to wild
With every distant mile
You’re bound to say goodbye
And you love and you hate
And its tempting fate
And your heart breaks
as you turn the pages
Chorus:
So live like you’ll be forgiven
Breathe like you’ll never die
And ride like the road is ending
Keep the chains around the lie
Til the truth unlocks it…
Like a Highway Prophet
