Last Chance Highway Songtext

von Matt Minglewood

Snake eyes, oh they could never be more clearer
Then those dice, dangling from my rear view mirror
Don't need a road sign I know this place
Those cruel eyes staring me in the face
It's just as it should be on this road was meant for me

Heading down that last chance highway
Roll the dice and it's one more try
If it don't work out my way
Won't be the first time I've seen snake eyes

How long have I been chasing shadows through the moonlight
And what dawn could break this spell upon the night
I'd love to close my eyes
But if I did the sun would never rise
On this damn old highway, oh this highway

Heading down that last chance highway
Roll the dice and it's one more try
If it don't work out my way
Won't be the first time I've seen snake eyes

I've lost count of all my tries
All my old friends, yes they're riding with me now
So those of you who tried and tried
Who just couldn't make it out here no how
And if I share their fate on the roadside I will wait
To hitch a ride with the next fool who comes on
This last chance highway

Don't need a road sign to know this place
With those cruel eyes staring me in the face
It's just as it should be
On this road was meant to be

Heading down that last chance highway
Roll the dice and it's one more try
If it don't work out my way
Won't be the first time I've seen snake eyes

Heading down that last chance highway
Roll the dice and it's one more try
If it don't work out my way
Won't be the first time I've seen snake eyes
