The Real Route 66 Lyrics

At times she's one, at times she's two

At times she's old, the times she's new

Sometimes there ain't a thing I could do

I search for the soul of the road

We beat the drums, we rattled the locks

We clung to the shade for blocks and blocks

We listened to skins come through the rocks

Searching for the soul of the road

Dawn in the mirror, running with the rain

The noontime sun sets it all ablaze

The glare of the evening and the dusty haze

The soul of the highway rolls both ways

Spray paint on the shell of the shell on the corner

Like it's only there to warn you that you're heading out of bounds

Sliding past the onramp and it's almost like a crime

Like it's only been the light that keeps the lost from the found

I've seen the sheen of the rattlesnake gift shop

I've braved the stay at a T-Rex truck stop

I've piled the miles on that ribbon of black top

Searching for the soul of the road

Dawn in the mirror, running with the rain

The noontime sun sets it all ablaze

The glare of the evening and the dusty haze

The soul of the highway rolls both ways

The soul of the highway rolls both ways

The soul of the highway rolls both ways

The soul of the highway rolls both ways
