I'm American made, but I like Chevrolet
My momma taught me wrong from right
I was born in the south
Sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
I gotta say it

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

Well if you ever plan to motor west
Jack, take my way it's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

When you're feelin' lonely
Lost and let down
Seems like those dark skies
Are following you around

Long ago, but not so very long ago
The world was different, oh yes it was
You settled down and you built a town and made it live
And you watched it grow
It was your town

Life could be a dream (sh-boom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream sweetheart

When you find yourself
In some far off place,
And it causes you
To rethink some things.

Well, if you ever plan to motor West
Just take my way that's the highway
That's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

I could say it's over now
That I was glad to see you go
I could hate you for the way I'm feelin'
My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know.
