Every road
Has a story to tell
Of dreams that have soared
And dreams that fell
Of finding that level
That says out of control
Prospecting riches
That reside in the soul
CHORUS (abbreviated)
Throw this love down the highway
See where it turns
Life is a shell game
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 (full)
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
GUITAR/FIDDLE BREAK
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 (full)
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 whereâ?¦ it takes you
