Highway To Hell
Texas Lightning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Livin' free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everythin' in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
No stop signs
Speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel
Gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey, Satan
Payin' my dues
Playin' in a rockin' band
Hey, mama
Look at me
I'm on the way to the promised land
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Don't stop me
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
(highway to hell) I'm on the highway to hell
(highway to hell) highway to hell
(highway to hell) highway to hell
(highway to hell)
And I'm goin' down
All the way
I'm on the highway to hell
The lyrics to Texas Lightning's song Highway To Hell describe the singer's carefree and rebellious attitude towards life, as they approach their inevitable end on the highway to hell. They live easy and free, without any concern for rules or expectations, and are taking everything in stride.

They are determined to keep going down the one-way ride towards their destiny, ignoring any stop signs or speed limits, and spinning their wheels without any concern for anyone trying to mess them around. To add to the punk attitude, they even give a shoutout to Satan, as they pay their dues and rock out in their band. In the end, they are on their way to the promised land, and nothing will stop them from getting there.
