Well the dawn is a-breakin', the highway's awaiting Where will you take me now my long and winding friend? So you've gathered up my mem'ries of all that you've shown me And wrapped them in the colors of a rainbow's end Hey, it surely must be beautiful then You say there's all New Jersey mornings The skies are a'laden with Florida sunshine Mountains that are grown in the corner of Carolina A touch of Pennsylvania that all but blows your mind Among laurels and pine cones I don't need to live alone Bring to me a lady with children to bear Let the light of our household grow bright as we grow old Let a stranger be welcomed by a smile not a stare Hey, won't it be beautiful there Where there's all New Jersey mornings Skies that are laden with Florida sunshine Mountains that are grown in the corner of Carolina And a touch of Pennsylvania that all but blows your mind Well the journey o'er a long ride soon ended by a hillside To rest there in darkness a-waiting the dawn When suddenly before me like a fairy tale story Unfolding in the sunlight was a sight my eyes have never known Hey, highway I'm gald I've come along I saw an old New Jersey morning Skies that were laden with Florida sunshine Mountains that are grown in the corner of Carolina And a touch of Pennsylvania that all but blew my mind
