All along the magic highway There's a friend of mine He was once a king of Egypt Now he's way behind All at once his life had ended, never to regain Love and peace and all his friendship, will never be the same All along the magic highway There's a friend of mine He was once a king of Denmark Now he's way behind While the Skagerrak was rising, all along the sand He stood on his castle weeping, his head was in his hand Ride the magic highway Ride the magic highway Ride the magic highway Ride All along the magic highway There's a friend of mine He was once man named Tommy Now he's way behind People gathered round his bed to watch him fade away They didn't know how glad he was to give it up that day All along the magic highway There's a friend of mine He was once a king of Egypt Now he's way behind All at once his life had ended, never to regain Love and peace and all his friendship, will never be the same Ride the magic highway Ride the magic highway Ride the magic highway Ride
