(Verse 1)
Yeah... yeah...
I’m white-knuckling the steering wheel, red-lining on the brink,
Mixing up the chemicals, man I was too high to think.
I was a high-speed casualty, a glitch inside the system,
I had a list of people loving me, but man, I really missed 'em.
Just a runaway train with the brakes cut, screaming,
Living out a nightmare while the rest of y'all are dreaming.
I’m smelling rubber burning on the edge of the abyss,
Every mile, every trial, yeah, it’s leading up to this.
The highway to hell is a one-way trip to the floor,
And I’m kicking out the glass 'cause I can’t take it anymore.
The speed was just a fever, yeah, a cold kind of rush,
Turning every silver lining into nothing but dust.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah... yeah... I said it’s Yahweh or the highway.
(Chorus)
It’s Yahweh... or the highway... I think I’ll take the stairway,
'Cause I never could do anything my way... anyway.
Just a runaway... trade the drug days for a sun-ray,
Climbing out the haze of the me phase... today.
Now I’m elevating... soul-searching for a better day,
Yeah, I’m taking the stairway... it’s Yahweh or the highway.
(Verse 2)
I’m waking up to the debt of a life I tried to skip,
Feeling every single lie finally lose its grip.
I was a walking contradiction, just a man against the wall,
Waiting for the gravity to catch me in the fall.
I see the empty chairs and the weight of my family's tone,
The heaviest part of the highway is realizing you’re alone.
Every go-go rush left a no-no scar on my kids,
Paying back the interest for the selfish life I lived.
The guilt is a poison, yeah, it’s flowing through my veins,
I’m a man in a cage just begging for the rain.
I’m a man in a wreck, just clawing at the door,
‘Cause the my way mentality can't save me anymore.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah... yeah... I said it’s Yahweh or the highway.
(Chorus)
It’s Yahweh... or the highway... I think I’ll take the stairway,
'Cause I never could do anything my way... anyway.
Just a runaway... trade the drug days for a sun-ray,
Climbing out the haze of the me phase... today.
Now I’m elevating... soul-searching for a better day,
Yeah, I’m taking the stairway... it’s Yahweh or the highway.
(Bridge)
I’m kicking down the doors of the tomb I used to live in,
Trading in the my way for the Grace that I’ve been given.
I was a corpse in a casket, yeah, I was dead behind the eyes,
Now I’m a soldier for the Truth, I’m finished with the lies.
I’m storming through the fire with a Spirit in my chest,
Putting every demon in this valley to the test.
Yeah, the stairway’s steep and it’s covered in my blood,
But I’m rising like a lion from the wreckage and the mud.
It’s a stairway to heaven from a cellar full of hell,
I’m shattering the chains, yeah, I’m breaking every spell.
I was a slave to the go-go, now I’m a witness to the King,
Listen to the sound of these broken chains start to ring!
(Chorus)
It’s Yahweh... or the highway... I think I’ll take the stairway,
'Cause I never could do anything my way... anyway.
Just a runaway... trade the drug days for a sun-ray,
Climbing out the haze of the me phase... today.
Now I’m elevating... soul-searching for a better day,
Yeah, I’m taking the stairway... it’s Yahweh or the highway.
(Post-Chorus)
Yeah, I said it... it’s Yahweh or the highway.
(Outro)
Yeah... so which one you going to choose?
