I lived my life on different stages
I wasted away in so many places
I burned down bar rooms, cleared the whiskey from those shelves
Seems while chasing my dreams, I lost myself

I've done my best to throw my life away
But through it all there was someone who stayed
I never really knew it I thought I was right
But he came to me in darkness and he showed me the light

Well he said follow me and I will lead you
Down a path where skies are so blue
The highway to hell its broad and its long
He said follow me and I will keep you, I will keep you strong

I lost my wife and others on the way
Traded them for bad girls that never seemed to stay
I lost my friends when all they wanted was time
I can't blame them cause all the blame is mine

But he said follow me and I will lead you
Down a path where skies are so blue
The highway to hell its broad and its long
He said follow me and I will keep you, I will keep you strong

I've done my best to change the way I live my life
Walk a path I've always known was right
But I'm too addicted to my rambling ways
And I'm too damaged, too damaged to save

Well he said follow me and I will lead you
Down a path where skies are so blue
The highway to hell is broad and its long
He said follow me and I will keep you, I will keep you strong
