[E] There are many new roads we see each day [A] Each one claims they are [E] the way
To a life of satisfaction more than we dream They are lined with things that please the eye
But they cannot satisfy So it is sad if you walk the highway with the redeemed
I'll tell you the highway, the road called Splay It's a one long stretch, it's so very narrow
[B] And the [E] cavalry that's running it
[A] [E] all The highway paved with grace all the way, all the way to my home
[Em] [E]
[A] [E] [Em] [C]
