Ancient Highway Lyrics

Riding out I heard somebody calling.
I turned around to see where it came from.
I saw visions of the past, those who'd gone before.
I turned and saw them all go walking down,

ancient highway, ancient highway
ancient highway, ancient highway.

Turned my horse towards the burning sunset.
Found a place where I could lay my head.
But as I lay down to sleep I heard somebody weep.
I turned and saw this young girl walking down,

That ancient highway, ancient highway
Ancient highway, ancient highway.

All my life that Celtic ray's been calling me.
And I've never had a place to call my own.
The friends I've had and lost, all have paid the cost.
When they choose to live their lives upon that old,
Ancient highway, ancient highway.
