A Summer Raid on Route 66
James Taylor

(Verse 1)
Well, the sun was shining down on a long stretch of road,
We set our sights on the horizon, ready to unload.
With the windows rolled down, and music in the air,
We were chasing dreams, without a single care.

(Chorus)
On route sixty-six, where the drinks are cold,
We shared our laughter, as the night grew bold.
The stars lit up the sky like diamonds in the sea,
A summer raid on Route 66, just you and me.

(Verse 2)
We stopped at diners, filled our souls with pie,
Met some fellow travelers, under the vast blue sky.
With stories in our hearts and our spirits flying high,
Every mile we conquered felt like we could touch the sky.

(Chorus)
On route sixty-six, where the drinks are cold,
We shared our laughter, as the night grew bold.
The stars lit up the sky like diamonds in the sea,
A summer raid on Route 66, just you and me.

(Bridge)
Memories made like the white lines that fade,
Against the sunset, our dreams were laid.
Through the heat and the haze, we found our way,
Every moment cherished, on this perfect day.

(Verse 3)
So here’s to the summer, and those endless rides,
With every twist and turn, it’s you by my side.
No matter where we roam, or what we leave behind,
This journey on Route 66 will always bind.

(Chorus)
On route sixty-six, where the drinks are cold,
We shared our laughter, as the night grew bold.
The stars lit up the sky like diamonds in the sea,
A summer raid on Route 66, just you and me.

(Outro)
Yes, a summer raid on Route 66, just you and me.
