Lyrics

[Intro] This is a travel song. It's the only travel song I've written, and, erm, it's what you might call a very idealistic kind of travel song, and err, the reason for that is that I wrote it before I ever travelled any place. It has a very idealistic kind of sing-along chorus that I would like to invite you to sing with, erm, if you would like? And it goes like this: [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 [Break] Now the last part of that was the chorus, and the part that I would like you to remember if you don't know the chorus at all, which you probably don't, is a line that goes like this: "Anything is what I've seen" And the cue word that you should look for comes just before that is "been", and that's Canadian for 'been' in case you were wondering [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 Made 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 [Break] Got one more chance [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 [Outro] Oh oh, I lost my pic You see it fell right down there There are probably about fourteen pics down there, I lose them every night No luck? It's just right down there Oh well, I won't use it, I'll finger-pic it
