Down The Highway Lyrics by Son Volt

Honky Tonk

0

Every road has a story to tell
Of dreams that have soared, of 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

While mortar and 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

There's a world of wisdom
Inside a fiddle tune
Throw this love down the highway
See where it takes you

There's a world of wisdom
Inside a fiddle tune
Throw this love down the highway
See where it takes you

Throw this love down the highway
See where it takes you
