Lyrics

We lit up our tires,on Route 66, They say this was a highway,that gave you a fix, Heading from east to west,to California, And when you got there,you might want to stay, All the way, from Chicago,out to L A, And all that scenery,that just won't go away, Think of all the people,that went out this way, And all the songs,that were written about it,every day, Chorus Well,once you hit that black top,the trip became a blast, You might have flashes,from out of the past, You'll have a lot of memories,that are going to last, You might even find a movie,where you'll be cast, Bridge This route came into being,way back in 26, It became, a road of migration,for a lot of hicks, Heading to the west coast,to make the big money, They said,it was called,the land of milk and honey, Well,it was also called,the Will Rogers Highway, And it was traveled,by many a stray, Back in the dirty 30's,going thru the dust bowl, There weren't no money,and no work,they'r ready to sell their souls, Chorus+Bridge Well,once you got down there,to Hollywood, Don't do as they do,just try to be good, You'll do your best,like we know you could, You'll get in some flicks,like we know you should, And when,you become,a great big star, You won't have time for us,you'll be going far, You'll be a cruising by,in your big car, You won,t be drinking your whiskey,from a fruit jar, Chorus
