Lyrics

Samuel was a man on the muscle
eager to defend his mind
but colors have a way of tempting anger
where stories often grow too large

a lonesome man who's fond of drifting
is like a dream that's caught up in the wind
Samuel wasn’t one for redemption
He just couldn’t bother paying the dues

riding down the mystery highway
searchin’ for the tales of his tribe
riding down… the mystery highway
ridin’ was his way to survive


Samuel often got to thinking
rules were just the wishes of the lot
but he knew one day he might feel different
if he wasn't left to go it alone

riding down the mystery highway
searchin’ for the tales of his tribe
riding down… the mystery highway
ridin’ was his way to survive


There was a rumor that the devil owned his dad
And when he came for Samuel, he didn’t fight back


man has never been perfect
and one day Samuel just couldn’t fight back
now the whispers fill the valleys
‘bout the ghost who’ll never be free

riding down the mystery highway
searchin’ for the tales of his tribe
riding down… the mystery highway
ridin’ was his way to survive
ridin’ was his way to survive
