Two days before the start of the third leg of the Joshua Tree Tour, U2 are in a New York radio studio for a direct broadcast interview.  The program, dubbed "Trip Through Your Wires" is broadcast throughout the world.  The Edge sings this Hank Williams cover.  Later, Bono recalls meeting the late country legend and the advice given to him: "You can go far with country and western, not that rock and roll shit."  

Lost Highway 

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost 
For a life of sin I have paid the cost 
When I pass by all the people say 
Just another guy on the lost highway 

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine 
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine 
O the day we met, I went astray 
I started rolling down that lost highway 

I was just a lad, nearly 22 
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you 
And now I'm lost, too late to pray 
Lord I take a cost, o the lost highway 

Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round 
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound 
Take my advice or you'll curse the day 
You started rollin' down that lost highway
