It's an OK song, relatively catchy, with some pretty decent guitar work. Howver, the "Hey hey!"s bug the hell out of me, and the lyrics are just beyond cliched. They even reuse lines from their previous songs in it!

I like Lost Highway too.

Any Other Day is HANDS DOWN the best song on the album, though. Unsurprisingly, the least played.

Lost Highway is top notch and the first 6 songs of the album are really great ( + till we ain't strangers anymore) ...

Lost Highway sounds great, has many layers and sounds. The songs has a nice warm sound and drive. The lyric is classic jovi and it is a song that you can feel is really written from the heart with passion.

Lost Highway the song is great live. It's got a great punches and does rock. It makes sense to use this and WGIGO to represent the album. Especially to go after new fans. They both rock live regardless of the lyrics and Lost Highway is the album title. AOD or WLOL are good album songs but very boring to a first time fan to hear these live. They won't stick in their heads. IMO. Plus, they are not touring with that violin chick.

Lost Highway gets bad press b/ of the "Country" representation. But some songs don't even sound country to me. I give the band credit. What I'd like to hear is an album version of LH without the county twang. Basically a rock versions.
