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

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