Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)

(album: Five Man Acoustical Jam - 1990)

You know I'm on a slick trip, I'm always ready to kick ass
Up on the stage I'm in a rage, I'm having the time of my life
Yes, indeed, what a sweet, sweet life it is

Until some loco two-bit floosie with a Louie Le-Strange
Ain't good for nothing but trouble
They're just two fools living up to their names
And now it's starting to rain on my parade

You know there's nothing like the real world to get me down
There's nothing like the world outside that turns me upside down
It makes me feel like I'm heading down a one-way, dead-end street

[Chorus:]
There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell, living hell

You know I had it made in the shade, thinking that it's not so bad after all
That's when I woke up, smelled the coffee, I'm back where I started again, yes
And now it's pouring rain on my parade

No there's nothing like the real world to get me down, no
One is there to lift you up, one to drag you down
Now, don't you see that we're heading down a one-way, dead-end street

[Chorus]

[Solo]

There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell I guess I'll live in hell

[Chorus]

Yes, it's a beautiful thing

You know, I'm on a slick trip, I'm always ready to kick ass
