Johnny’s kicking out the footlights
The Grand Ol’ 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 fought my tongue
I lie and wait until the wagons come
And dream a highway back to you
Solo break #1
The getaway kicking up cinders
An empty wagon full of rattling bones
Putting 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 band of gold
A silver vision, come and rest my soul
I dream a highway back to you
Solo break #2
Which lover are you Jack of Diamonds?
Now you be Emmylou and I’ll be Gram
I sent a letter don’t know who I am (?)
I dream a highway back to you
Solo Break #3
I’m an indisguisable shade of twilight
Any second now I’m going to 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 eyed and wheeling when I lay down out
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 band of gold
A silver vision come and rest my soul
I dream a highway back to you
Solo break #4
I give me some of what you’re having
I’ll take you as a viper into my head
The knife into my bed, arsenic when I’m fed
I dream a highway back to you
Pain overhead from all directions
Radiation from the porcelain light
Blind and blistered by the morning light
I dream a highway back to you
Solo break #5
Sunday morning at the diner
Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
I watch the waitress for a thousand years
Saw a wheel within a wheel, heard a call within a call
I dream a highway back to you
Oh I dream a highway back to you love
A winding river with band of gold
A silver vision come and bless my soul
I dream a highway back to you
Solo break #6
Step into the light poor Lazerus
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 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 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 band of gold
A silver vision come and bless my soul
I dream a highway back to you
Solo break #7
