           A                        C
Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again
         G                      A
You get nothing for nothing, expect it when
        F                          G                   A
You're backseat driving, and your hands ain't on the wheel

It's easy to go along with the crowd
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
Oh, that's the way to find what you've been missing

Chorus:
E       D           A
So I'm heading out to the highway
       D          A      E
I got nothing to lose at all
     D     A
I'm gonna do it my way
         D       A      E
Take a chance before I fall
    C       G      A
A chance before I fall!

You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice, it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your bidding

Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
There's miles and miles to put it back together

Chorus

On the highway!
On the highway!

Making a curve or taking the strain
On the decline, or out on the wane
Oh, everybody breaks down sooner or later

We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You'll weather every storm that's coming at you

Chorus:
And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothing to lose at all
I'm going to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
Yes, I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothing to lose at all
I got nothing to lose at all
