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 vision 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'll 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 laid '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 winding ribbon with a band of gold
 A silver vision convalesced 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
 And 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 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 winding ribbon with a band of gold
 A silver vision 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 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 soul
 I dream a highway back to you
