I Dream a Highway Gillian Welch

[Refrain 1]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain 2]
Oh I dream a highway back to you, love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come arrest my soul
And I dream a highway back to you
