There's a high road I follow
It goes for miles and miles
Made for weary pilgrims
Who stay on earth a while
I don't care what I leave behind
On this kind of highway
There ain't no "Slow Down" signs
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
This old world's never gonna hold me down
Like a weight in my pocket
A millstone round my neck
The worries of a lifetime
Can cause a man to wreck
And if I stall on a steep incline
I can call on to Jesus
To help me make the climb
I'm stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
There ain't nothin' gonna hold me down
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
This old world's never gonna hold me down
Oh, no, oh, no
Sometimes a misty rain
Falls on through the night
The Lord can always help you
Find the center line
On that high road
And I don't care what I leave behind
On this kind of highway
There ain't no "Slow Down" signs
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
There ain't nothing gonna hold me down
Stayin' on the high road
Oh, you know I'm stayin' on the high road
This old world's never gonna hold me
This old world's never gonna hold me down
It ain't gonna hold me down
It ain't gonna hold me down
Stayin' on the high road
Stayin' on the high road
Stayin' on the high road
