Down life's highway alone I taught
I always put my trust in God
But you'll find out
That your silver and gold won't pay
The price to protect your soul
Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul
To lead me on to the heaven shore
My life down here will soon be oer
If you want the Lord to protect your soul
There's many a church down life's highway
Where people sing, rejoice and praise
Why don't you stop at once and join the folk
And ask the Lord to protect your soul
* Refrain
When this old world is soomed with sin
You'll cry oh Lord please let me in
But then it'll be too late to make your goal
And ask the Lord to protect your soul
* Refrain
