Intro
C# F# G# (4x)
C# F# G#
My father came to Westville
C# F# G#
And helped to build the town
F# C#
They damn near broke their backs
D#m7 G#
Trying to break the ground
C# F# G#
But some dreams are not for catching
C# F# G#
They seldom ever stay
F# C#
They run like a river of our tears
G# C# F# G# C# F# G#
Down the new highway
C# F# G#
My mother was a tailor
C# F# G#
She fashioned all my clothes
F# C#
I wore those burlap britches
D#m7 G#
Down a dozen dusty roads
C# F# G#
But she passed away in 'Sixty-Nine
C# F# G#
Thank god before the day
F# C#
She didn't have to watch our dreams go
G# C#
Down the new highway
A#m G# C#
Now the main street's dark and silent
F# C#
Not a shadow or a sound
A#m G# C#
But midnight brings the spirits out
D#m7 G#
From the coal mines in the ground
C# F# G#
In my dreams they all come back again
C# F#
The good folks of the day
G# F# C#
They're all trying to save the life they knew from going
G# C#
Down the new highway
INTERLUDE: C# F# G# (4x)
C# F# G#
My brother was a millwright
C# F# G#
He helped to build my home
F# C#
But the work ran out as did my wife
D#m7 G#
And now I'm all alone
C# F# G#
Without a steady income
C# F# G#
I couldn't ask for her to stay
F# C#
So I sent my love and my two young kids
G# C#
Down the new highway

C# F# G#
I remember Freddy Landsburg
C# F# G#
At the farm beside the road
F# C#
He'd wave to every passing car
D#m7 G#
He never was alone
C# F# G#
But the 4-lane left him breathless
C# F# G#
When it took his view away
F# C#
Now his spirit haunts the old roadside
G# C#
Where it meets the new highway
A#m G# C#
But all things come to pass
F# C#
You see it everywhere you turn
A#m G# C#
It's just a big race to the finish line
D#m7 G#
I hope someday we'll learn
C# F# G#
But some dreams are not for catching
C# F# G#
They seldom ever stay
F# C#
They run like a river of our tears
G# C#
Down the new highway
F# G#
Some dreams are not for catching
A#m C#
They seldom ever stay
F# C#
They run like a river of our tears
G# C# F# G# C#
Down the new highway
F# C# F# G# C#
Down the new highway
F# C# F# C#
Down the new highwaaaay-yay-e-yay
F# C#
Down the new highway
