[length: 14:44]
[00:12.82]Oh I dream a highway back to you, love
[00:22.92]A winding ribbon with a band of gold
[00:32.74]A silver vision come and rest my soul
[00:42.57]I dream a highway back to you
[00:53.27]John, he’s kicking out the footlights
[01:02.59]The Grand Ole Opry’s got a brand-new band
[01:13.48]Lord, let me die with a hammer in my hand
[01:23.13]I dream a highway back to you
[01:34.02]I think I’ll move down into Memphis
[01:43.89]And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue
[01:54.79]I lie and wait until the wagons come
[02:04.31]And dream a highway back to you
[02:11.94]
[02:25.21]The getaway kicking up cinders
[02:35.36]An empty wagon full of rattling bones
[02:46.24]Moon in the mirror on a three-hour Jones
[02:55.87]I dream a highway back to you
[03:05.63]Oh I dream a highway back to you, love
[03:16.35]A winding ribbon with a band of gold
[03:26.76]A silver vision come arrest my soul
[03:37.38]I dream a highway back to you
[03:45.60]
[03:58.67]Which lover are you, Jack of diamonds?
[04:08.46]Now you be Emmylou and I’ll be Gram
[04:18.88]I’ll send a letter, don’t know who I am
[04:29.46]I dream a highway back to you
[04:36.52]
[04:49.43]I’m an indisguisable shade of twilight
[05:00.32]Any second now, I’m gonna turn myself on
[05:12.36]In the blue display of the cool cathode ray
[05:23.35]I dream a highway back to you
[05:34.58]I wish you knew me, Jack of diamonds
[05:46.16]Fire-riding, wheeling when I laid ’em up
[05:56.49]Drank whiskey with my water, sugar with my tea
[06:07.43]My sails in rags with the staggers and the jags
[06:18.19]I dream a highway back to you
[06:28.24]Oh I dream a highway back to you, love
[06:39.68]A winding ribbon with a band of gold
[06:50.36]A silver vision convalesced my soul
[07:01.24]I dream a highway back to you
[07:22.38]Now give me some of what you’re having
[07:32.57]I’ll take you as a viper into my head
[07:43.16]A knife into my bed, arsenic when I’m fed
[07:53.86]And I dream a highway back to you
[08:06.17]Hang overhead from all directions
[08:16.76]Radiation from the porcelain light
[08:27.76]Blind and blistered by the morning white
[08:37.82]I dream a highway back to you
[08:45.72]
[08:59.79]Sunday morning at the diner
[09:10.43]Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
[09:20.66]I watched the waitress for a thousand years
[09:30.74]Saw a wheel inside a wheel, heard a call within a call
[09:41.39]I dreamed a highway back to you
[09:51.64]Oh I dream a highway back to you, love
[10:02.83]A winding ribbon with a band of gold
[10:13.75]A silver vision convalesced my soul
[10:24.30]I dream a highway back to you
[10:32.03]
[10:46.88]Step into the light, poor Lazarus
[10:57.07]Don’t lie alone behind the window shade
[11:08.52]Let me see the mark death made
[11:18.64]I dream a highway back to you
[11:29.13]I dream a highway back to you
[11:40.81]What will sustain us through the winter?
[11:51.80]Where did last year’s lessons go?
[12:02.41]Walk me out into the rain and snow
[12:12.74]I dream a highway back to you
[12:23.27]Oh I dream a highway back to you, love
[12:34.95]A winding ribbon with a band of gold
[12:45.53]A silver vision come and bless my soul
[12:57.03]I dream a highway back to you
[13:07.49]I dream a highway back to you
[13:18.20]Oh I dream a highway back to you, love
[13:30.20]A winding ribbon with a band of gold
[13:41.14]A silver vision come and bless my soul
[13:52.36]I dream a highway back to you
