[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
And I dream a highway back to you

[Verse 2]
Which lover are you, Jack of Diamonds?
Now you be Emmylou and I'll be Gram
I'll send a letter, don't know who I am
And I dream a highway back to you

[Verse 3]
Sunday morning at the diner
Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
I watched the waitress for a thousand years
Saw a wheel inside a wheel, heard a call within a call
And I dreamed a highway back to you

[Verse 4]
I'm an indisguisable shade of twilight
Any sеcond now, I'm gonna turn myself on
In the blue display of thе cool cathode ray
And I dream a highway back to you
[Verse 5]
I wish you knew me, Jack of Diamonds
Fire-riding, wheeling when I laid 'em up
Drank whiskey with my water, sugar with my tea
My sails in rags with the staggers and the jags
And I dream a highway back to you

[Verse 6]
Step into the light, poor Lazarus
Don't lie alone behind the window shade
Let me see the mark death made
And I dream a highway back to you
And I dream a highway back to you

[Outro]
Oh I dream a highway back to you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
