High roads and hard shoulders
Thought you’d treat someone bad
Comes back to haunt you
You’re all alone, it’s all you have

High roads and hard shoulders
Is a road of one-ways
Stay fat, rich, and ugly
You will be dead one day


Chorus

Have you ever walked alone
Well one day you will
Nothing results in nothing
And the world just won’t stand still


Verse

High roads and hard shoulders
Better hope you never break down
It’ll be a hard way to the top
When you’ll have no one around

High roads and hard shoulders
Take the time to look
Might as well start giving
Redeem yourself for all that you took


Chorus

Have you ever walked alone
Well one day you will
Nothing results in nothing
And the world just won’t stand still
