Biography:
“There's a song in there somewhere," sings Dave Gunning optimistically on his seventh album We're All Leaving, but the Pictou County, Nova Scotia performer is being far too modest.
Scoring three 2010 East Coast Music Award Nominations for Songwriter, Male Solo Recording and FACTOR Recording of the Year, and recently named as a Finalist in the Great American Song Contest and International Songwriting Competition for his song, Before The Morning Sun (co-written by James Keelaghan), Gunning is on the move.

Dave Gunning - New Highway
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F G (4x)
C F G
My father came to Westville
C F G
And helped to build the town
F C
They damn near broke their backs
Dm7 G
Trying to break the ground
C F G
But some dreams are not for catching
C F G
They seldom ever stay
F C
They run like a river of our tears
G C F G C F G
Down the new highway
C F G
My mother was a tailor
C F G
She fashioned all my clothes
F C
I wore those burlap britches
Dm7 G
Down a dozen dusty roads
C F G
But she passed away in 'Sixty-Nine
C F G
Thank god before the day
F C
She didn't have to watch our dreams go
G C
Down the new highway
Am G C
Now the main street's dark and silent
F C
Not a shadow or a sound
Am G C
But midnight brings the spirits out
Dm7 G
From the coal mines in the ground
C F G
In my dreams they all come back again
C F
The good folks of the day
G F C
They're all trying to save the life they knew from going
G C
Down the new highway
INTERLUDE: C F G (4x)
C F G
My brother was a millwright
C F G
He helped to build my home
F C
But the work ran out as did my wife
Dm7 G
And now I'm all alone
C F G
Without a steady income
C F G
I couldn't ask for her to stay
F C
So I sent my love and my two young kids
G C
Down the new highway
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G C F C Am G C Dm7 G
C F G C F G C F G
C F G
I remember Freddy Landsburg
C F G
At the farm beside the road
F C
He'd wave to every passing car
Dm7 G
He never was alone
C F G
But the 4-lane left him breathless
C F G
When it took his view away
F C
Now his spirit haunts the old roadside
G C
Where it meets the new highway
Am G C
But all things come to pass
F C
You see it everywhere you turn
Am G C
It's just a big race to the finish line
Dm7 G
I hope someday we'll learn
C F G
But some dreams are not for catching
C F G
They seldom ever stay
F C
They run like a river of our tears
G C
Down the new highway
F G
Some dreams are not for catching
Am C
They seldom ever stay
F C
They run like a river of our tears
G C F G C
Down the new highway
F C F G C
Down the new highway
F C F C
Down the new highwaaaay-yay-e-yay
