The Connection - Emmylou Harris

The heel of my boot is on the leg of my chair

My chair leans back and rests on the wall

And the wall runs the length of my room to the door

The door reaches down to the sidewalk

And sidewalk leads to the edge of the street

The street takes you out to the old highway

The highway ends at the countyline bridge

The bridge takes you up to the interstate

The interstate rolls on beyond my horizon

Where miles tend to turn into days

Finally runs into high road that winds through the city

That took you away

And it reaches the sidewalk that kisses a wall

And the wall rises up to the 33rd floor

The floor feels you step to the balcony rail

From the rail you look out on the interstate

The interstate rolls on beyond the horizon

A highway of dreams come and gone

Always leads the roads that connect you

To the fool that keeps holding on

The heel of my boot is on the leg of my chair

Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
