Hiway Man Lyrics - Blue Cheer

(Norman Mayall, Gary L. Yoder, & G.R. Grelecki) 

Yes I am the Hiway Man 

I played my hand and I won 

Rode on down from Richmond 

Join the other side 

War was raging out 1865 

Riding, cloak is flying 

Slapping in he breeze. 

Money, give me all you have 

Maybe I'll take your life 

Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly 

Through the night. 

(Hate myself, choose the road 

Won't you fall this way 

Captain Walter understands 

Wash your feet and pray.) 

Money, give me all you have 

Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly through the night. 

Riding down a country road 

I race the silver moon 

Chasin' shadows 'cross the field 

Dogs coming soon 

Kick my horse and wail out loud 

The fog was rolling by 

The dust did blow, the gold was mined 

The lady, heard her cry. 

Money, give me all you have 

Maybe I'll save your life 

Cause the Hiway Man's not sure how long to last. 

Sing easy towards the sun 

You know we'll find our way 

(Gotta find my way)(HA HA) 

I got to hide away (HA HA) 

(Got to hide away) 

When the lightning strikes 

You know we'll find our way 

(Got to find my way) 

Ooooo! 

Money, give me all you have 

Cause the Hiway Man comes soon 

Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly 

Through the night. 

Whooo, yeeeeeaaahh, ow, bye-bye, whoo, see you later, ooohhh, 

Woooo, woooo-woooo, wooo-wooo.
