Maybe You're the Highway Lyrics

Time don't wait for no man, and it will shake you to the bone

Like a steam train light through the Mississippi night

Like the wind that cut through the stone

When you dream, you climbed the mountain

But when you wake, you dug the hole

Someday, you'll learn to see beyond the fold

Maybe you're the highway

Maybe you're the only one who knows

Maybe you're the hurricane

Turning back time when the flood water flows

Maybe it's the wrong way

Looking to the west for the promise and the gold

Maybe you're the Earth beneath your toes

Maybe you're the highway

Green gives way to gravel and fire fades to dust

And a silver chain can someday be stained

By the sweat and the rain and the rust

When you dream, you claim the bounty

But when you wake, you pay the toll

Someday, you'll learn to see beyond the fold

Maybe you're the highway

Maybe you're the only one who knows

Maybe you're the hurricane

Turning back time when the flood water flows

Maybe it's the wrong way

Looking to the west for the promise and the gold

Maybe you're the Earth beneath your toes

Maybe you're the highway
