Intro
A# D# F (4x)
A# D# F
My father came to Westville
A# D# F
And helped to build the town
D# A#
They damn near broke their backs
Cm7 F
Trying to break the ground
A# D# F
But some dreams are not for catching
A# D# F
They seldom ever stay
D# A#
They run like a river of our tears
F A# D# F A# D# F
Down the new highway
A# D# F
My mother was a tailor
A# D# F
She fashioned all my clothes
D# A#
I wore those burlap britches
Cm7 F
Down a dozen dusty roads
A# D# F
But she passed away in 'Sixty-Nine
A# D# F
Thank god before the day
D# A#
She didn't have to watch our dreams go
F A#
Down the new highway
Gm F A#
Now the main street's dark and silent
D# A#
Not a shadow or a sound
Gm F A#
But midnight brings the spirits out
Cm7 F
From the coal mines in the ground
A# D# F
In my dreams they all come back again
A# D#
The good folks of the day
F D# A#
They're all trying to save the life they knew from going
F A#
Down the new highway
INTERLUDE: A# D# F (4x)
A# D# F
My brother was a millwright
A# D# F
He helped to build my home
D# A#
But the work ran out as did my wife
Cm7 F
And now I'm all alone
A# D# F
Without a steady income
A# D# F
I couldn't ask for her to stay
D# A#
So I sent my love and my two young kids
F A#
Down the new highway

A# D# F
I remember Freddy Landsburg
A# D# F
At the farm beside the road
D# A#
He'd wave to every passing car
Cm7 F
He never was alone
A# D# F
But the 4-lane left him breathless
A# D# F
When it took his view away
D# A#
Now his spirit haunts the old roadside
F A#
Where it meets the new highway
Gm F A#
But all things come to pass
D# A#
You see it everywhere you turn
Gm F A#
It's just a big race to the finish line
Cm7 F
I hope someday we'll learn
A# D# F
But some dreams are not for catching
A# D# F
They seldom ever stay
D# A#
They run like a river of our tears
F A#
Down the new highway
D# F
Some dreams are not for catching
Gm A#
They seldom ever stay
D# A#
They run like a river of our tears
F A# D# F A#
Down the new highway
D# A# D# F A#
Down the new highway

Down the new highwaaaay-yay-e-yay
D# A#
Down the new highway
