Lyrics Down The Highway - Son Volt

Down The Highway

Every road has a story to tell
The dreams that have soared, the dreams that fell
Of finding that level that says out of control
Prospecting riches that reside in the soul
Throw this love down the highway
See where it turns
Life is a shell game
Lessons lost, lessons learned
There will never be a time
The time that is now
To reach for the promise
A melody on the bow
Break up the silence
Make it clear, make it last
Forgiveness given
Break away from the past
Throw this love down the highway
See where it turns
Life is a shell game
Lessons lost, lessons learned
There’s a world of wisdom
Inside a fiddle tune
Throw this love down the highway
See where it takes you
Why all the mortar, bricks may crumble
Time moves along
With a dance step stumble
Really no choice
But escape from the past
Wake up the silence
Make it clear, make it last
Throw this love down the highway
See where it turns
Life is a shell game
Lessons lost, lessons learned
Throw this love down the highway
See where it takes you
