1st verse
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
2nd verse
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
Chorus
Ride the magic highway
Ride the magic highway
Ride the magic highway
Ride
3rd verse
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
Repeat 1st verse and chorus
All along the magic highway

He was once a king of Egypt
Now he's way behind
All at once his life had ended, never to regain
