Lyrics

Travelin' down a dirt road

and it seems I went astray.

I stopped and asked directions

from a man along the way.

His beard was dark and handsome

and he looked with piercing eyes;

and when he spoke

and what he said,

it took me by surprise:

Don't you know the highway

is my way,

the one way road?

Don't you know

the low way

is no way,

the wrong way to go?

You've got to keep right

and keep straight

with the light up ahead;

keep it on the narrow,

the arrow,

is straight up he said,

Read the -- signs.

I got back on the highway,

his direction was so clear.

I thought back and remembered

as I looked into my mirror.

And there he was beside me,

it was strange, I had no fear.

He smiled at me, I gave a grin

and then he disappeared.

Don't you know the highway

is my way

the one way road?

Don't you know the low way

is no way,

the wrong way to go?

You've got to keep right,

and keep straight,

with the light up ahead.

Keep it on the narrow,

the arrow,

is straight up he said.

Read the -- signs,

Read the -- signs. Yeah.
