I Dream a Highway

I dream a highway back to you
Moon in the mirror on a three hour Jones
Now, give me some of what you're having

Fire riding, wheeling when I lead 'em up
I dream a highway back to you

A winding ribbon with a band of gold
Hang overhead from all directions
A silver vision, come arrest my soul
I dream a highway back to you
And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue
Oh, I dream a highway back to you, love

Oh, I dream a highway back to you, love

I dream a highway back to you
Now you be Emmylou and I'll be Gram
And dream a highway back to you
Oh, I dream a highway back to you, love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold

The Grand Ole Opry's got a brand new band

Radiation from the porcelain light
Any second now, I'm gonna turn myself on
I'll take you as a viper into my head
I dream a highway back to you
Drank whiskey with my water, sugar in my tea
An empty wagon full of rattling bones

Which lover are you, Jack of Diamonds?
A silver vision, come molest my soul

I dream a highway back to you
Oh, I dream a highway back to you, love

A knife into my bed, arsenic when I'm fed
My sails in rags with the staggers and the jags
I dream a highway back to you
Sunday morning at the Diner
Where did last years lessons go?
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
I dreamed a highway back to, you
Blind and blistered by the morning white
I send a letter, don't know who I am
I dream a highway back to you

In the blue display of the cool cathode ray
A silver vision, come and bless my soul
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
I dream a highway back to you
I dream a highway back to you
I dream a highway back to you
John, he's kicking out the footlights

Walk me out into the rain and snow

I dream a highway back to you
Oh, I dream a highway back to you, love
I dream a highway back to you
A silver vision, come and rest my soul
A silver vision, come and bless my soul
I wish you knew me, Jack of Diamonds
I think I'll move down into Memphis
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
Don't lie alone behind the window shade
Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears

I dream a highway back to you
I'm an indisguisable shade of twilight
I lie and wait until the wagons come
I dream a highway back to you
What will sustain us through the winter?
Saw a wheel inside a wheel, heard a call within a call
A silver vision, come molest my soul

The getaway kickin' up cinders
Step into the light, poor Lazarus
I dream a highway back to you

I watched the waitress for a thousand years
Let me see the mark death made
Lord, let me die with a hammer in my hand
