Way out yonder where the wild wind blows

There's a place there lonely fools can go

Where if you hold your money it'll burn your hand

So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland

Down the highway down the road I'm bound

And my heart keeps poundin' and the wheels go 'round

And it's a hard place for a mortal man

And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland

Yeah when I was younger I could hold my own

My right hand was thunder and my left was stone

Now I ain't as handsome as I was back then

So I'm takin' my chances in the shadowland

Down the highway down the road I'm bound

And my heart keeps poundin' and the wheels go 'round

And it's a hard place for a mortal man

And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland

Been down a thousand highways and they're all the same

Another empty place where I can hide my shame

And there's a heartache waitin' up around the bend

For a lonesome stranger in the shadowland

Down the highway down the road I'm bound

My heart keeps poundin' and the wheels go 'round

And it's a hard place for a mortal man

And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland
