Take The Highway Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

See the stretching sun at dawning 

Wipe the stardust from his eyes 

Feel the morning breezes yawning 

Telling me it's time to rise 

Telling me it's time to rise 

I was born to take the highway 

I was born to chase a dream 

Any road at all is my way 

Any place is where I've been 

Anything is what I've seen 

Gambler's gold is made for squandering 

Miser's silver is to hoard 

My gold as the sky goes wandering 

My silver is the drinking gourd 

My silver is the drinking gourd

I was born to take the highway 

I was born to chase a dream 

Any road at all is my way 

Any place is where I've been 

Anything is what I've seen 

I've skipped on concrete, danced on cobbles 

Stepped on pavement in the heat 

I've seen where children crouched at marbles 

Made chalk circles in the street 

Found a penny at my feet 

Found a penny at my feet 

I was born to take the highway 

I was born to chase a dream 

Any road at all is my way 

Any place is where I've been 

Anything is what I've seen

Now I know a road that winds forever 

Through the land the rainbows run 

You cross the bridge from now till never 

Take the first turn past the sun 

Take the first turn beyond the sun 

I was born to take the highway 

I was born to chase a dream 

Any road at all is my way 

Any place is where I've been 

Anything is what I've seen
