    Well I've said it before and I'll say it again
    You get nothing for nothing, expect it when
    You're backseat driving and your hands ain't on the wheel
    It's easy to go along with the crowd
    And find later on that your say ain't allowed
    Oh that's the way to find what you've been missing

    So I'm heading out to the highway
    I got nothing to lose at all
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Take a chance before I fall
    A chance before I fall

    You can hang in a left or hang in a right
    The choice, it is yours to do as you might
    The road is open wide to place your bidding
    Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
    If you get it wrong, at least you can know
    There's miles and miles to put it back together

    And I'm heading out to the highway
    I got nothing to lose at all
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Take a chance before I fall
    A chance before I fall

    On the highway
    On the highway

    Making a curve or taking the strain
    On the decline, or out on the wane
    Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
    We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
    Back on your feet to take the next bend
    You'll weather every storm that's coming at ya

    And I'm heading out to the highway
    I got nothin' to lose at all
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Take a chance before I fall
    Yes, I'm heading out to the highway
    I got nothing to lose at all
    I got nothing to lose at all Writer/s: Glenn Raymond Tipton, Kenneth Downing, Rob Halford
