  Bb/C F
There are many new roads we see each day
F/A Bb F
Each one claims they are the way,
  F/A Bb F/C C F Bb7 F
To a life of sa - tis - faction more than we've dreamed.
  Bb/C F Bb F
They are lined with things that please the eye
  Bb F
But they cannot satisfy
Bb F/C F/A Bb F/C
So I’ve decided to walk the highway
C7 F Bb F
With the redeemed.

Chorus

  Bb/C F Bb F
I'll take the old highway,

The one called straight...

  C7 F
It's very narrow,
  C Dm C/E C7
All the way to the gate.
  F Gm7 F/A
It started at Cal - va - ry
  A7 Dm F/C Bb
That's where I got on...
  F/C D7 G7
It's an old old highway paved with grace
C7 F Bb7 F
All the way home.

  Bb/C F
This highway may look to worldly men like
F/A Bb F
It's a road to a bitter end
  F/ABb F/C C7 F Bb F
For we are promised tri - bu - lation all along.
  Bb/C F Bb F
But the difference is easy to explain
  Bb F
For we have everything to gain,

Bb F/C F/A Bb F/C C7 F Bb7 F

Bb F/C F/A Bb F/C C7 F Bb7 F
So just count me with that number going home.
