I Dream A Highway lyrics

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 kicking 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 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-riding, wheeling when I lead em up
Drank whisky 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 ligh
