The chords basically follow the same : () progression Intro () () you love () () rest my soul () you Johnny’s kicking out the footlights The Grand Ol’ 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 fought my tongue I lie and wait until the wagons come And dream a highway back to you Solo break #1 The getaway kicking up cinders An empty wagon full of rattling bones Putting 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 band of gold A silver vision, come and rest my soul I dream a highway back to you Solo break #2 Which lover are you Jack of Diamonds? Now you be Emmylou and I’ll be Gram I sent a letter don’t know who I am (?) I dream a highway back to you Solo Break #3 I’m an indisguisable shade of twilight Any second now I’m going to 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 eyed and wheeling when I lay down out 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 winding ribbon with band of gold A silver vision come and rest my soul I dream a highway back to you Solo break #4 I give me some of what you’re having I’ll take you as a viper into my head The knife into my bed, arsenic when I’m fed I dream a highway back to you Pain overhead from all directions Radiation from the porcelain light Blind and blistered by the morning light I dream a highway back to you Solo break #5 Sunday morning at the diner Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears I watch the waitress for a thousand years Saw a wheel within a wheel, heard a call within a call I dream a highway back to you Oh I dream a highway back to you love A winding river with band of gold A silver vision come and bless my soul I dream a highway back to you Solo break #6 Step into the light poor Lazerus 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 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 band of gold A silver vision come and bless my soul I dream a highway back to you Solo break #7
