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
