Seven hundred kilometres of forest and of stone

Linking Prince George to the great unknown

Temperature drops to zero where the dark woods meet the sky

Crows on the power lines watching the world go by

Girls hitched rides, just tryin' to get to school

While the vampires looked for victims

that they thought they could fool

The flashing red and blue lights

are the only things that glow

There's secrets in thе logging trails buried in the snow

Therе ain't nothing good about Highway 16

It's a black strip running through a broken dream

Objects in the mirror are closer than they seem

No, there ain't nothing good out on Highway 16

There's an old wooden billboard, rotting in the rain

And a faded sign of Jesus, but it can't wash away the pain

The paint is peeling off His face

'cause it's been there for years

You won't find salvation on the highway of tears

There ain't nothing good about Highway 16

It's a black strip running through a broken dream

Objects in the mirror are closer than they seem

No, there ain't nothing good out on Highway 16

Totem poles honor the missing

Loved ones left reminiscing

A heavy foot on the gas can't outrun the grief

Of the names of the kids lost to a thief

There ain't nothing good about Highway 16

It's a black strip running through a broken dream

Objects in the mirror are closer than they seem

There ain't nothing good out on Highway 16

Yeah, there ain't nothing good out on Highway 16

There ain't nothing good out on highway, Highway 16
