Son Volt “Down the Highway” CAPO 1 D Every road G D Has a story to tell G D Of dreams that have soared G A And dreams that fell D Of finding that level G D That says out of control G D Prospecting riches A D That reside in the soul Chorus G D Throw this love down the highway G D See where it turns G D Life is a shell game A D Lessons lost, lessons learned There will never be a time Like the time that is now To reach for the promise Of melody on the bough Break up the silence Make it clear, make it last Forgiveness given Break away from the past Chorus 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 Instrumental While the mortar and bricks may crumble Time moves along with a dance-step stumble Really no choice but escape from the past Break up the silence, make it clear make it last Chorus 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
