The Highway Lyrics

[chorus]
Nightclubs and one night stands
Play a show then I'm off again
This is my life, living on the highway
It's all I've ever done. All I've ever known
Just wanna play one more show
And make some music with my friends

Playing working class culture, see the bleak side of the American experience
Scatter in the street and show me what you got
This is no set of ideals, this is flesh and blood

[chorus]

Opinions are hard to put in prison
I'll tell the truth that won't be told
Uprising and rebellion
Social change with flesh and blood

[chorus]

Correct lyrics straight from the booklet:

Night clubs and one night stands Play a show then I'm off again This is my life living on the highway It's all I've ever done, all I've ever known Just wanna play one more show Make some music with my friends

I am working class culture Seen the bleak side of the American experience Scatter in the streets and show me what you got This is no set of ideas, this is flesh and blood

Opinions are hard to put in prison I tell the truth that won't be told Uprising and rebellion Social change with flesh and blood

My Interpretation
Cover art for The Highway lyrics by Rancid

“This was the only song that we recorded that we felt would fit at the end of the record. It’s the best way to explain every individual in the band and it sums up the pure pleasure of playing together and the hope that it never ends. “It’s all I’ve ever done, all I’ve ever known, just wanna play one more show and make some music with my friends”.”

“See you in the pit.” — Rancid
