By Ray Wylie Hubbardrmofle at satx.rr.com4/25/04Capo 4GWild young cowboy out on the highwayGTelecaster kid of the rockin tradeG DLost unto the straight and narrowGTo honky tonks and masqueradeGTempted by a thousand pleasuresGIts foolish comfort for the soulDA deadly shot missed a shadowGThere ain?t no sign posts along this road.Chours:CIt is such a sweet temptationGit gives such a brief reliefDIt is such a false sensationGHow come that?s so hard to believeHiram Williams was in the back seatOf a Cadillac on New Year's DayHe closed his eyes and sang his last songMister Leon Payne's "The Lost Highway"That same old song with the sad sweet endingIs playing somewhere south of townBy a band of hard young rockersWho never think they?ll see the sun go downChorusA young angel sings in sorrowFor the broken hearted and betrayedA last waltz for the wild young cowboysWho never came back from the lost highwayAn old Diablo waits in silenceFor the loco gringo young in yearsHe waits alone in heavens shadowsWith a stolen horse and tequila tearsChorus
