Gillian Welch – 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 Explain Request ×
