(Born To) Take the Highway - Joni Mitchell

See the stretching sun at dawning

Wipe the stardust from his eyes

Feel the morning breezes yawning

Telling me it’s time to rise

Telling me it’s time to rise

I was born to take the highway

I was born to chase a dream

Any road at all is my way

Any place is where i’ve been

Anything is what i’ve seen

Gambler’s gold is made for squandering

Miser’s silver is to hoard

My gold as the sky goes wandering

My silver is the drinking goard

My silver is the drinking goard

I was born to take the highway

I was born to chase a dream

Any road at all is my way

Any place is where i’ve been

Anything is what i’ve seen

I’ve skipped on concrete

Danced on cobbles

Stepped on pavement in the heat

I’ve seen where children crouched at marbles

Made chalk circles in the street

Found a penny at my feet

Found a penny at my feet

I was born to take the highway

I was born to chase a dream

Any road at all is my way

Any place is where i’ve been

Anything is what i’ve seen

Now i know a road that winds forever

Through the land the rainbows run

You cross the bridge from now till never

Take the first turn past the sun

Take the first turn beyond the sun

I was born to take the highway

I was born to chase a dream

Any road at all is my way

Any place is where i’ve been

Anything is what i’ve seen
