Son Volt – Down The Highway lyrics

[Verse:]
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

[Bridge:]
Throw this love down the highway
See where it turns
Life is a shell game
Lessons lost, lessons learned

[Verse:]
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

[Bridge:]
Throw this love down the highway
See where it turns
Life is a shell game
Lessons lost, lessons learned

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

[Verse:]
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

[Bridge:]
Throw this love down the highway
See where it turns
Life is a shell game
Lessons lost, lessons learned

[Chorus: X2]
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
