Down The Highway - Son Volt

Every road has a story to tell

The dreams that have soared, the dreams that fell

Of finding that level that says out of control

Prospecting riches that reside in the soul

Throw this love down the highway

See where it turns

Life is a shell game

Lessons lost, lessons learned

There will never be a time

The time that is now

To reach for the promise

A melody on the bow

Break up the silence

Make it clear, make it last

Forgiveness given

Break away from the past

Throw this love down the highway

See where it turns

Life is a shell game

Lessons lost, lessons learned

There’s a world of wisdom

Inside a fiddle tune

Throw this love down the highway

See where it takes you

Why all the mortar, bricks may crumble

Time moves along

With a dance step stumble

Really no choice

But escape from the past

Wake up the silence

Make it clear, make it last

Throw this love down the highway

See where it turns

Life is a shell game

Lessons lost, lessons learned

Throw this love down the highway

See where it takes you
