Human Highway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head, refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen

[Refrain]
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind?

[Verse 2]
I come down from the crooked mansion
I went lookin' for the D.J.'s daughter
Since that day I heard it mentioned
That my name is on the line

[Refrain]
Now my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind?

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Now my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind?
See Neil Young Live
Get tickets as low as $41
[Verse 1]
I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head, refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen

[Refrain]
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
