Lyrics
Highway of Dreams by Mike Campbell 1995 It was built by the army back in World War II So all of the northern supplies could get through, A road to Alaska through a land of extremes, And we called it our highway of dreams. With the kids sleeping soundly and the wife on my right, We drove through Seattle, crossed the border at night. Up Fraser Canyon to Prince George like a streak, Spent the next night in Dawson Creek. We were off to Alaska on the highway of dreams, A road to adventure few people have seen, We'll cross over mountains, canyons and streams, As we drive up the highway of dreams. Just east of the Rockies, the road headed north, And everything costs about twice what its worth, The people were friendly, they were helpful and glad To take us for all that we had. Then it snowed in the mountains and the road went to pot. The kids they were screaming, our tempers were hot, It was in Watson Lake when the car finally died, And we knew that repairs would be high. We were stuck in the Yukon on the highway of dreams, This road to adventure ain't all that it seems, I'm glad we brought the credit card as part of our team, To survive this highway of dreams. When the parts finally got there we were back on the road, We tried not to think of the money we owed. A glance at the map we saw the end was in sight, So we drove till the morning light. Now the ice and the snow have all disappeared, The storm clouds have parted, the sun's shining here, There's a breeze in my window only bugs in my way, Going to get to Alaska today. Well we made it to Alaska on the highway of dreams, This road to adventure few people have seen, We crossed over mountains, canyons and streams, As we drove up the highway of dreams. It was built by the army back in World War II, So all of the northern supplies could get through, A road to Alaska through a land of extremes, And we called it our highway of dreams.
