Lyrics

On the highway, thirty people lost their lives
On the highway, thirty people lost their lives
Well, I had some ways to holley, and my road, it took a right

In the moonlight, see that greyhound rollin' on
In the moonlight, see that greyhound rollin' on
Flyin' through the crossroads, roads that ran into the hound

For the graveyard, thirty boxes made of bone
For the graveyard, thirty boxes made of bone
Mister undertaker, take this coffin from my home

In the midnight, he'll be cryin' out a name
In the midnight, he'll be cryin' out a name
I'm standin' on the railroad, waitin' for the graveyard train

On the highway, thirty people turned to stone
On the highway, thirty people turned to stone
Oh, take me to the station, 'cause I'm number thirty-one
