I Dream A Highway Lyrics - Time - Gillian Welch

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 and wait until the wagons come 

And dream a highway back to you 

The getaway kickin' 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 whiskey 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, come molest 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 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
