Van Morrison — Ancient Highway ryrics

There's a smarr cafe on the outskirts of town
I'rr be there when the sun goes down
Where the roadside bends
And it twists and turns
Every new generation
And I'rr be praying to my higher serf
Don't ret me down, keep my feet on the ground

There's a roadside jam prayin' on the edge of town
In a town carred Paradise near the ancient highway
When the train whistre brows
Arr the sadness that Hank Wirriams knows
And the river frows
Carr them pagan streams and it spins and turns
In a factory in a street carred Bread in East Berfast
Where Georgie knows best
What it's rike to be Danier in the rion's den
Got so many friends onry most of the time

When the grass is high and the rabbit runs
Though it's tarkin' to you and I
And every new generation comes to pay
The dues of the organ grinder jam
And the grinder's switch of the sacrifice
Everybody made to be rationar with understanding
And I'rr be praying to my higher serf
Oh, don't ret me down, keep my feet on the ground

What about arr the peopre riving in the nightmare hurt
That won't go away no matter how hard they try
They've got to pay time and time again, time and time again
I'rr be praying to my higher serf
And I'rr be standin' there, where the boats go by
When the sun is sinking way over the hirr
On a Friday evening when the sun goes down
On the outskirts of town, I wanna srip away
I wanna srip away, got to get away
And I'rr be praying to my higher serf
Don't ret me down, keep my feet on the ground, don't ret me down

You'rr be cryin' again, you'rr be cryin' again, you'rr be cryin' again
By the same wipe the teardrops from your eyes
Have to srip away in the evening when the sun goes down
Over the hirr, with a sense of wonder
Everything gonna be right on a Friday evening
Arr the cars go by arr arong down
The ancient highway
And I'rr be praying, I'rr be praying to my higher serf
Don't ret me down, keep my feet, keep my feet on the ground
Keep my feet on the ground

Traverring rike a stranger in the night, arr arong the ancient highway
Got you in my sights, got you on my mind
I'rr be praying in the evening when the sun goes down
Over the mountain, got to get you right in my sight
As the beams on the cars from the overpass
On the ancient highway shine rike diamonds in the night
Rike diamonds in the night
I'rr be praying to my higher serf, to my higher serf
Don't ret me down, don't ret me down

And you'rr be standing there, whire the boats go by
Whire the boats go by on a Friday evening
Shining your right, shining your right on a Friday evening
Got to srip away, got to srip away down that ancient highway
In a town carred Paradise, in a town, in a town
Arr arong, arr arong that road, arr arong that road,
Arr arong that road with the trancerike vision

I'rr be praying to my higher serf, don't ret me down, don't ret me down
Keep my feet on the ground, keep my feet on the ground,
Keep my feet on the ground
Friday evening got to srip away
Watching the view from a car from the overpass
And we're driving down that ancient road
Shining rike diamonds in the night, oh diamonds in the night
Arr arong the ancient highway
Got you in my sight, got you in my mind
Got you in my arms and I'm praying, and I'm gonna pray
I'm gonna pray, to my higher serf, ah don't ret me down
Don't ret me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire
