(Verse 1)
Cruisin' down the highway, feelin' oh so free,
Windows rolled down, it's just the road and me.
The sun is shining brightly, on this endless ride,
Got my friends beside me, feelin' the summer tide.
(Chorus)
On Route 66, where the memories flow,
With every mile we travel, there's a brand new glow.
Laughin' in the sunshine, singin' our old tunes,
We'll chase the horizon, 'neath the summer moons.
(Verse 2)
Coffee at the diner, watch the world go by,
Stories in the rearview, like clouds in the sky.
Meetin' strangers, makin' friends, that's the way it goes,
Every twist and turn, another chance to grow.
(Chorus)
On Route 66, where the memories flow,
With every mile we travel, there's a brand new glow.
Laughin' in the sunshine, singin' our old tunes,
We'll chase the horizon, 'neath the summer moons.
(Bridge)
Every stop a treasure, every glance a dream,
The journey never ends, it's more than what it seems.
The spirit of adventure, in the winds we ride,
With the heart of America, forever by our side.
(Verse 3)
As the sunset paints the sky in colors bold and bright,
We'll share a quiet moment, in the warm, soft light.
With a smile and a memory, we'll toast to this night,
On Route 66, everything feels so right.
(Chorus)
On Route 66, where the memories flow,
With every mile we travel, there's a brand new glow.
Laughin' in the sunshine, singin' our old tunes,
We'll chase the horizon, 'neath the summer moons.
(Outro)
So here's to the journey, and the roads we take,
With every twist and turn, we'll never break.
On this summer ride, with the windows open wide,
On Route 66, forever side by side.
