Joni Mitchell — Born To Take The Highway

[Intro] Hi, break over. This is the other new song that I wrote that I was telling you about. It's called "I Was Born To Take The Highway". I wrote it between Toronto and Detroit, on the highway. [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Gambler's gold is meant for squandering Miser's silver is to hoard My gold 'cross the sky goes wandering My silver is a drinking gourd My silver is the drinking gourd [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I've skipped on concrete, danced on cobbles Stepped on pavement in the heat I've seen where children crouched at marbles Drew chalk circles in the street Found a penny at my feet [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] Now, I know a road that winds forever Through the land the rainbows run You cross the bridge from now 'til never Take the first turn past the sun Take the first turn beyond the sun [Chorus] 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
