Down The Highway Lyrics - Honky Tonk - Son Volt

Every road has a story to tell 

The dreams that have soared, the dreams that fell 

Of finding that level that says out of control 

Prospecting riches that reside in the soul 

Throw this love down the highway 

See where it turns 

Life is a shell game 

Lessons lost, lessons learned 

There will never be a time 

The time that is now 

To reach for the promise 

A melody on the bow 

Break up the silence 

Make it clear, make it last 

Forgiveness given, 

Break away from the past 

Throw this love down the highway 

See where it turns 

Life is a shell game 

Lessons lost, lessons learned 

[Chorus] 

There's a world of wisdom 

Inside a fiddle tune 

Throw this love down the highway 

See where it takes you 

Why all the mortar, bricks may crumble 

Time moves along 

With a dance step stumble 

Really no choice 

But escape from the past, 

Wake up the silence 

Make it clear, make it last 

Throw this love down the highway 

See where it turns 

Life is a shell game 

Lessons lost, lessons learned 

[Chorus: x2] 

Throw this love down the highway 

See where it takes you
