*Lyrics*
[Verse 1]
The engine’s sputterin’, the gas light’s on,
I’ve been runnin’ so long, but the past is gone.
The stars are fadin’, the moon’s turned black,
There’s no turnin’ back, no turnin’ back.

I’ve lived fast and loose, played my hand too bold,
Traded my soul for a heart of gold.
Now the road’s gettin’ colder, the air’s gettin’ thin,
I can feel the devil grinnin’, lettin’ me in.

[Chorus]
This feels like the end of the road,
On the dark side of the highway,
Gonna drive to my grave,
Always living my way.
The devil’s in my rearview,
And he’s callin’ my name,
On the dark side of the highway,
I’ll meet him in the flames.

[Verse 2]
The asphalt’s cracked, the lines are blurred,
I hear a voice in the wind, every word.
“You’ve had your fun, boy, but it’s time to pay,
The piper’s at the crossroads, at the end of the day.”

I’ve danced with the angels, I’ve wrestled the beast,
But the devil’s got a contract, and I’m the feast.
The headlights are dimmin’, the shadows grow tall,
I can hear the gates of hell start to call.

[Chorus]
This feels like the end of the road,
On the dark side of the highway,
Gonna drive to my grave,
Always living my way.
The devil’s in my rearview,
And he’s callin’ my name,
On the dark side of the highway,
I’ll meet him in the flames.

[Bridge]
I’ve burned through the nights, I’ve raced through the days,
But the devil don’t care ‘bout the life that I’ve made.
He’s waitin’ at the finish, with a smile and a hand,
Sayin’, “Welcome to the fire, boy, you’re right where I planned.”

[Chorus]
This feels like the end of the road,
On the dark side of the highway,
Gonna drive to my grave,
Always living my way.
The devil’s in my rearview,
And he’s callin’ my name,
On the dark side of the highway,
I’ll meet him in the flames.

[Outro]
So I’ll park my ride at the gates of hell,
And I’ll tip my hat as I bid farewell.
I lived my life with no chains, no ties,
On the dark side of the highway, that’s where I’ll die.
