Life has been unkind to me
Prevented me from being who I wanted to be
I wanted to be a hotshot, a superstar
Live in a castle, and drive a fancy car.
I dreamt of being rich and famous,
But god had other plans...
I lost my money, and the only job that I had
My house was demolished -
It was built on native's land
All my property had been taken away
I'm homeless now, what can I say?

{Chorus}
There are times that I wish
I was a racecar
On the highway to heaven
Going as fast as I can
Toward the end of my way
Cause life have been cruel to me
And I just want to end my misery.

I lost my money, house and life
I was even dumped by my own wife,
The kids have left me
I'm not their father anymore
I live in the street
With no shoes on my feet
Freezing in the cold cold winter.
I'm eating from trash,
And breathing the ash
Of the burned factory I sleep in.

{Chorus}

As days go by
My situation gets worse
I don't think I can handle it
I just don't have the force
I stand near the fire that burns in the can
I'm closing my eyes and dream that I am
On the highway to heaven
Pressing the gas pedal as hard as I can
I want to go to heaven
Be at the end of the way

Let me be on the highway to heaven
Let me drive toward the end
I want to be on the highway to heaven
Cause, I just can handle the pain...
