There's a big old road, where all the kids go
To get away from their folks and go dog go
Now rumor has it, that down this street
You'll find any kinda tricks that you'd like to treat
Everybody knows it's where the fun flows
Where the cow patties flop and the fungus grows
Free to frolick and ride along
Popping pills, snorting lines or smoking a bong
Everybody comes from all around
To the only highway where you can always get down
But if you're looking to get high
High, high, high, high, high, high, high
I'm a cautionary tale that you have to hear
It's a tale filled with woe, filled with fear
If you're getting high on the high highway
Better bet your ass that he's coming your way

Skeleton murder on the high highway
Better pray that he's not going your way
Skeleton murder on the high highway
One way or another, he'll make you pay
Skeleton murder on the high highway
Skeleton murder on the high highway
High Highway
High Highway
High Highway

There's this guy you all know, he has me scared as hell
Every driver on the road is under his spell
The fastest car ever seen
Is his big blood-red fucking death machine
He burns up the roads you're traveling on
Searching for sinners to feast upon
No car runs faster on the black blacktop
His demon mobile outraces all the cops
You never know when or where he'll pop up
Once you're in his sights, he never stops
No one can escape his evil grin
His bony grip, his El Dorado fins
He keeps that pedal welded to the floor
So don't forget what I told you before
If you're getting high on the high highway
Better bet your ass he's coming your way

Skeleton murder on the high highway
Better pray that he's not going your way
Skeleton murder on the high highway
One way or another, he'll make you pay
Skeleton murder on the high highway
Skeleton murder on the high highway
High Highway
High Highway
High Highway

Now we've made introductions and dropped the plot
This tale of wicked woe, where I got caught
By the skeleton murderer of route 101
Before he caught me, I knew I was done
Yep, you know, I'm such a goner
Saw the undead bones of the wicked loner
Though I tried, I can't drive 55
No one here gets out alive
No matter how fast my velocity got
It was minute minutes before I got caught
My eyes bulged out, my teeth chattering
I heard those scary spooky bones a-clattering
It's my fault, now I know
Don't tempt Dr. Bones or down you'll go
If you're getting high on the high highway
Better bet your ass he's coming your way

Skeleton murder on the high highway
Better pray that he's not going your way
Skeleton murder on the high highway
One way or another, he'll make you pay
Skeleton murder on the high highway
Better pray that he's not going your way
Skeleton murder on the high highway
One way or another, he'll make you pay
Skeleton murder on the high highway
You'd better pray, he'll make you pay
Skeleton murder on the high highway
Skeleton murder on the high highway
Skeleton murder on the high highway
High highway
High highway
