lyrics

Sisters go missing
Bodies unmarked graves
The cops do nothing
Hide your face and pray

We’ve done nothing
For too long

Highway of tears
Since 1970
They go missing
We just turn away

We’ve done nothing
For too long

Highway 16
Between hope and Princeton
That deadly highway
Steals women’s lives

We’ve done nothing
For too long

HIGHWAY OF TEARS

Sisters go missing
On the highway
The cops are questioned
They just turn away

We’ve done nothing
For too long

Highway of tears
What have you done?
Highway of tears
What have you done?
Highway of tears
Where have they gone?
Highway of tears
Where have they gone?
Highway of tears
Where are they now?
Highway of tears
how do we not know?

Sisters go missing
On the Highway
Unmarked graves
Is where they must lay

We’ve done nothing
For too long
