Lyrics
[Intro]
[Acoustic guitar and harmonica, creating a travelling atmosphere]
[Couplet 1]
Packin' my bags, headin' westward bound,
On Route 66, where freedom's found.
From the heart of Texas to the Arizona plains,
Every mile's a memory, through sunshine and rains.
With the wind in my hair and the sun on my face,
Chasin' the horizon, findin' my pace.
Every town, a story, every road, a song,
On this endless highway, where I belong.
[Instrumental]
[Acoustic guitar solo]
[Couplet 2]
From the neon lights of Vegas to the Grand Canyon’s edge,
Ridin' the blacktop, livin' on the ledge.
The open road’s a teacher, with lessons to unfold,
Life’s about the journey, not just the gold.
Saw old diners and motels with tales of their own,
Ghosts of travelers, who’ve come and gone.
Each stop a moment, each moment a prayer,
On this winding trail, I find my care.
[Instrumental]
[Solo de banjo]
[Refrain]
Oh, Route 66, you lead me through,
From the highs and lows, to skies so blue.
Every turn and twist, every bridge I cross,
In this road-trip reverie, I’m never lost.
[Instrumental]
[Solo d'harmonica]
[Couplet 3]
In the desert heat and the cool night’s breeze,
I’m findin' who I am, with a heart at ease.
Each mile a step, each step a dance,
Givin' life my all, with every chance.
From the blues of Chicago to the Santa Monica pier,
The road's a canvas, my dreams are clear.
Every sunrise brings a brand-new day,
On this timeless highway, I find my way.
[Instrumental]
[Acoustic guitar and banjo duo]
[Refrain]
Oh, Route 66, you lead me through,
From the highs and lows, to skies so blue.
Every turn and twist, every bridge I cross,
In this road-trip reverie, I’m never lost.
[Pont]
[More spoken voice, light rhythm]
The journey’s not just in the miles we drive,
It’s the moments we capture, the ways we thrive.
In the laughter and tears, the sights we see,
Route 66, you're a part of me.
[Refrain]
Oh, Route 66, you lead me through,
From the highs and lows, to skies so blue.
Every turn and twist, every bridge I cross,
In this road-trip reverie, I’m never lost.
[Outro]
[Piano et harmonica se terminant en douceur]
From the roads I’ve traveled, to the paths unknown,
With Road 66, I’m always home.
