I Dream a Highway

 

I Dream a Highway Lyrics

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

Johnny`s kickin` 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 hatchetman who forked my tongue
I`ll lie and wait until the wagons come
And dream a highway back to you

The getaway kickin` up cinders
An empty wagon full of rattlin` 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 windin` 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-ridin`, wheelin` when I lead `em up
Drank whiskey with my water, sugar with 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 windin` ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vison, come molest my soul
I dream a highway back to you

Now give me some of what you`re havin`
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 mornin` white
I dream a highway back to you

Sunday mornin` at the diner
Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
I watched the waitress for a thousand years
Saw a wheel inside 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 windin` ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vison, convalesced 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 year`s 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 windin` ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vison, 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 windin` ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vison, come and bless my soul
I dream a highway back to you
