Two lanes - twistin' down a dusty highway Two souls - on their way to where it leads Tail lights - fadin' on the far horizon But there's a detour on the road to destiny It goes up in a blinding flash When two reckless worlds collide You can't avoid the crash Sometimes in life we ride on Divided highway - torn in two directions Speedin' out of sight through the night Divided highway - stranded at the crossroads Of what's wrong and who's right Two hearts forgettin' what they meant to each other Too proud ever to admit the truth Someday it'll all seem clear When two reckless worlds collide It's gonna turn to tears Why must we always ride a divided highway On the road baby no-one's safe When two reckless worlds collide When we defend our faith That's when in life we ride a divided highway Shuttin' out the other side Divided highway clingin' to our foolish pride Out on the road nowhere; nowhere to hide Why must we always ride a divided highway Torn in two directions; speedin' outa sight Divided highway stranded at the crossroads Of what's wrong and who's right Divided highway cuttin' through the darkness Searchin' for the light Divided highway ridin' on the fine line Between day and nite Divided highway
