New Highway
Dave Gunning

My father came to Westville and helped to build the townnThey damn near broke their backs, trying to break the groundnBut some dreams are not for catching, they seldom ever staynThey run like a river of our tearsnDown the new highwaynnMy mother was a tailor, she fashioned all my clothesnI wore those burlap britches down a dozen dusty roadsnShe passed away in '69, Thank God before the daynShe didn't have to watch our dreams gonDown the new highwaynnNow the mainstreet's dark and silentnNot a shadow or a soundnBut midnight brings the spirits outnFrom the coal mines in the groundnIn my dreams they all come back again nThe good folks of the daynThey're all trying to save they life they knew from going nDown the new highwaynnMy brother was a mill-wright, he helped to build my homenBut the work ran out as did my wife, and now I'm all alonenWithout a steady income, I couldn't ask for her to staynSo I sent my love and my two young kidsnDown the new highwaynnI remember Freddy Landsburg at the farm beside the roadnHe'd wave to every pasing car, he never was alonenBut the 4 lane left him breathless as it took his view awaynNow his spirit haunts the old roadside where it meetsnThe new highwaynnAll things come to pass, you see it everywhere you turnnIt's just a big race to the finish line, I hope someday we'll learn nBut some dreams are not for catching, they seldom ever staynThey run like a river of our tears nDown the new highwaynnSome dreams are not for catching, they seldom ever staynThey run like a river of our tears nDown the new highwaynnDown the new highwaynnDown the new highwaynnDown the new highwayn
