(Verse 1) Engine’s humming, the sun comes up Old paper map, but I won’t give up From Chicago down to the western sea A road full of dreams stretching out in front of me (Pre-Chorus) Rusty signs whispering names Ghost towns fading like forgotten flames (Chorus) I’m driving down Route 66 With the wind that never quits Through the dust and neon lights Freedom feels like endless nights Along Route 66 (Verse 2) Motel lights in the midnight blue A jukebox playing, time slips through Strangers passing, stories in their eyes Every soul here is chasing skies (Pre-Chorus) Broken dreams and open roads Every mile feels like it knows (Chorus) I’m driving down Route 66 With my heart caught in the mix Through the desert, through the towns Finding pieces of me that I lost and found Along Route 66 (Bridge) Maybe the ending’s not ahead Maybe it’s the miles I’ve already led Every turn, every night, every place I go Is shaping who I am, I know (Final Chorus – soft → big) I’m driving down Route 66 Letting life decide the twists No map, just the open sky Where dreams and reality collide Along Route 66 (Outro) So I keep rolling, mile by mile With the road as home and a restless smile
