I dream a highway


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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Gillian Welch (born October 2, 1967 in New York City) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, Bluegrass, and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as 'at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms'. Welch has released seven studio albums with Rawlings, including 'Revival' (2001), considered one of the best American music albums of the 2000s. Their songs are characterized by poetic lyrics and melancholic melodies, often focusing on themes such as loss, love, and rural life. Among their most representative tracks are 'Red Clay Rambler', 'Look at Miss Ohio' and 'The Way the World Goes 'Round'.
