Intro
Verse 1
This Highway Is A Dream Machine, It Can Take You All The Way
From The Middle Of The Heartland To The Bright Lights Of L.a.
It Delivered The Okies And The Arkies, And Oh, So Many More
From The Desperation Of The Dust Bowl To The Bright Pacific Shore.
It Was America’s Main Street
The Place To Get Your Kicks
This Neon-Lighted Dream Machine Called, Route 6 6
Verse 2
It Took Buz And Tod On Odysseys; And We Rode Along.
We Saw The Sights, We Watched The Fights, We Listened To The Songs.
We Dreamed The Dreams That Dreamers Dream, We Heard That Highway Scream,
We Felt The Lure Of Grass So Green, We Heard The Sirens Sing.
It Was America’s Main Street,
The Place To Get Your Kicks,
This Neon-Lighted Dream Machine Called, Route 6 6.

Verse 3
Well, A Hundred Years Have Come And Gone Since Avery Had His Dream,
Steinbeck Called It The Mother Road, Paved With Hopes And Schemes.
Bobby Troup And Nat King Cole And Others Sang Its Praise,
But Since The Freeways Came Along, This Road’s Seen Better Days.
It Was America’s Main Street,
The Place To Get Your Kicks
This Neon-Lighted Dream Machine Called, Route 6 6.
Are You Ready For A Road Trip?
Let’s Get Our Kicks,
On This Neon-Lighted Dream Machine Called Route 6 6.

Verse 4
We Hit The Bricks In Illinois, Chicago In Our Mirror,
We Dropped The Top, Our Final Stop: The Santa Monica Pier.
We Cruised That Hallowed Highway; We Made The Tires Squeal.
Excited By The History That Passed Beneath Our Wheels.
It’s Still America’s Main Street,
The Place To Get Your Kicks,
This Neon-Lighted Dream Machine Called, Route 6 6
We Made California, The Land Of Gold ’N Sun,
The End’s In Reach, We Hit The Beach; Our Journey Nearly Done.
But The Highway Lives Forever, In Our Hearts And In Our Dreams,
We’ll Revel In The Sunshine, With Our Memories.
It’s Still America’s Main Street,
The Place To Get Your Kicks,
On This Neon-Lighted Dream Machine Called, Route 6 6.
