I Dream a Highway |
| Oh I dream a highway back to you love |
| A winding ribbon with a band of gold |
| A silver vision come and rest my soul |
| I dream a highway back to you |
| John he’s kicking out the footlights |
| The Grand Ole Opry’s got a brand new band |
| Lord, let me die with a hammer in my hand |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| I think I’ll move down into Memphis |
| And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue |
| I lie and wait until the wagons come |
| And dream a highway back to you. |
| The getaway kicking up cinders |
| An empty wagon full of rattling bones |
| Moon in the mirror on a three-hour jones, |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Oh I dream a highway back to you love |
| A winding ribbon with a band of gold |
| A silver vison come arrest my soul |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Which lover are you, Jack of Diamonds? |
| Now you be Emmylou and I’ll be Gram |
| I send a letter, don’t know who I am |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| I’m an indisguisable shade of twilight |
| Any second now I’m gonna turn myself on In the blue display of the cool cathode ray |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| I wish you knew me, Jack of Diamonds |
| Fire-riding, wheeling when I lead em up Drank whisky with my water, sugar in my tea |
| My sails in rags with the staggers and the jags |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Oh I dream a highway back to you love |
| A winding ribbon with a band of gold |
| A silver vision come molest my soul |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Now give me some of what you’re having |
| I’ll take you as a viper into my head |
| A knife into my bed, arsenic when I’m fed |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Hang overhead from all directions |
| Radiation from the porcelain light |
| Blind and blistered by the morning white |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Sunday morning at the diner |
| Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears |
| I watched the waitress for a thousand years |
| Saw a wheel within a wheel, heard a call within a call |
| I dreamed a highway back to you. |
| Oh I dream a highway back to you love |
| A winding ribbon with a band of gold |
| A silver vision come molest my soul |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Step into the light, poor Lazarus |
| Don’t lie alone behind the window shade |
| Let me see the mark death made |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| What will sustain us through the winter? |
| Where did last years lessons go? |
| Walk me out into the rain and snow |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
| Oh I dream a highway back to you love |
| A winding ribbon with a band of gold |
| A silver vision come and bless my soul |
| I dream a highway back to you |
| I dream a highway back to you |
| Oh I dream a highway back to you love |
| A winding ribbon with a band of gold |
| A silver vision come and bless my sould |
| I dream a highway back to you. |
