He was walking down the highway   And you saw him strageling along   And you reached out, opened up your door   And you gave him a ride to your heavenly home      Got his mother, she don't listen   And his father, hated his old man   But you listened to his feelings   And your eyes consistantly understand   Yes, your eyes consistantly understand      (chourus)   He was a good man, he lived a good life   He was a good man, he lived a good life   But he was dancing to the bright lights   He was dying for some love      Will you see him with his guitar   Down the highway he would walk along   Singing old songs, singing someday blues   But the school bells were his only song   Yea, the school bells were his only song      Through the fire, through the lying sun   Through the smoke and the fog, through a day thats done   There was strength then, there was hope, and life   There was strings of peace from the other side   There was strings of peace from the other side      (chourus)   He was a good man, he lived a good life   He was a good man, he lived a good life   But he was dancing to the bright lights   He was dying for some love      (bridge)   Don't you see he's falling away   Thank God for the love that you gave   Only love can put out a fire   And all your love was calling him higher and higher      (chourus) X2   He was a good man, he lived a good life   He was a good man, he lived a good life   But he was dancing to the bright lights   He was dying for some love      And you were right there for the hard times   You were right there again and again   Again and again   Again and again   Again and again      He was walking down the highway   And you gave him a ride to your heavenly home   You gave him a ride to your heavenly home
