[Verse 1] Wild young cowboy out on the highway A Telecaster kid of the rocking trade Lost unto the straight and narrow To honkytonks and masquerade Tempted by a thousand pleasures Its foolish comfort for the soul A deadly shot in [the misty shadows?] There aint no sign posts along this road [Chorus] It is such a sweet temptation It gives such grief relief It is such a false sensation How come thats so hard to believe? [Verse 2] Hiram Williams was in the back seat Of a Cadillac on New Years Day He closed his eyes and sang his last song Mister Leon Paynes The Lost Highway That same old song with a sad sweet ending Is playing somewhere south of town By a band of hard young rockers Who never think theyll see the sun go down See Ray Wylie Hubbard LiveGet tickets as low as 57You might also like[Chorus] And it is such a sweet temptation It gives such grief relief It is such a false sensation How come thats so hard to believe? [Verse 3] A young angel sings in sorrow For the brokenhearted and betrayed A last waltz for the wild young cowboy Who never came back from the lost highway An old Diablo waits in silence For the loco gringo young in years He waits alone in heavens shadow With a stolen horse and tequila tears [Chorus] And it is such a sweet temptation It gives such grief relief It is such a false sensation How come thats so hard to believe? [Outro] It is such a sweet temptation It gives such a brief relief It is such a false sensation How come thats so hard to believe? It is such a false sensation How come thats so hard to believe?
