David Rawlings - 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 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 in 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 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 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 d**h 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 soul I dream a highway back to you
