Nobody Gets Out Alive Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life is a highway and it's mighty fucking long (mighty fucking long)
Full of twists and turns so you know shit's gon' go wrong (shit's gonna go wrong)
You can slip (slip), you can slide (slide)
You can run (run) but you can't hide (hide)

[Chorus]
Nobody gets out alive (nobody gets out alive)
Nobody gets out alive (no fucking way)

[Verse 2]
Life is a highway with mountains mighty high (mountains mighty high)
When you get to the top it's deep down the other side (down the other side)
All of a sudden you're going too fast (fast)
The breaks don't work so that's your ass (your ass)

[Chorus]
Nobody gets out alive (nobody gets out alive)
Nobody gets out alive (no fucking way)
There's lots of roads that you can take (you can take)
It's all about the choice you make (fucking choices)
No matter how fast you wanna go
Don't look in the rearview 'cause you know

[Verse 3]
Life is a highway full of signs saying which way to go (signs saying which way to go)
Stop, go slow, one way, try to keep up with the flow (the flow)
When the ride is over (hey, oh)
You see the one that says, "Dead end" (hey)
[Chorus]
Nobody gets out alive (nobody gets out alive)
Nobody gets out alive (nobody gets out alive)
Nobody gets out (nobody gets out alive)
Nobody gets out (nobody gets out alive)
Nobody gets out alive (no fucking way)
Nobody gets out alive (Especially Bryce)

[Outro]
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody gets out
Nobody gets out alive (nobody gets out alive)
Nobody gets out (nobody gets out)
Nobody gets out alive

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]
