Текст песни: New Highway + перевод

My father came to Westville and helped to build the town

They damn near broke their backs, trying to break the ground

But some dreams are not for catching, they seldom ever stay

They run like a river of our tears

Down the new highway

My mother was a tailor, she fashioned all my clothes

I wore those burlap britches down a dozen dusty roads

She passed away in '69, Thank God before the day

She didn’t have to watch our dreams go

Down the new highway

Now the mainstreet’s dark and silent

Not a shadow or a sound

But midnight brings the spirits out

From the coal mines in the ground

In my dreams they all come back again

The good folks of the day

They’re all trying to save they life they knew from going

Down the new highway

My brother was a mill-wright, he helped to build my home

But the work ran out as did my wife, and now I’m all alone

Without a steady income, I couldn’t ask for her to stay

So I sent my love and my two young kids

Down the new highway

I remember Freddy Landsburg at the farm beside the road

He’d wave to every pasing car, he never was alone

But the 4 lane left him breathless as it took his view away

Now his spirit haunts the old roadside where it meets

The new highway

All things come to pass, you see it everywhere you turn

It’s just a big race to the finish line, I hope someday we’ll learn

But some dreams are not for catching, they seldom ever stay

They run like a river of our tears

Down the new highway

Some dreams are not for catching, they seldom ever stay

They run like a river of our tears

Down the new highway

Down the new highway

Down the new highway

Down the new highway
