Lyrics
Theres'an old man on the highway, we see him most every night. We wonder how he's doing, and ask him if he's alright.
Chorus
He says the Lords standing beside him, he'll always be by my side, so don't worry about me, I'll make it another night.
Verse
I said old man can I help you, I'll take you where you want to go.I'll help you find you're family, so you want be alone.
Chorus
He says the Lords standing beside him, he'll always be by my side, so don't worry about me, I'll make it another night.
Verse
He said go home to your family and take care of their needs, don't ever give up or you'll end up like me. Keep your mind on your children and love them every day and when they get older you'll understand what I say.
That was the last time I saw him, and in my heart I believe, he kept my family together, and for that he was set free. There's an old man on the highway.
