Blacktop Train |
Ooo-ooo on a blacktop train |
They’re rolling like the thunder in a midwest rain |
Ooo-ooo on a blacktop train, every revolution |
Rides the wheels of change |
They poured blacktop two-lane right through the cornfields |
Laid a stripe right across my back |
The wheels came spinning with the wide-eyed crusaders |
Out on a quest for the trail of jack kerouac |
Silos, scarecrows, american machine |
Rev up your engines you’re as fast as a train |
Oh my lord, look how the weather has changed |
Cyclones, dust storms, blacktop trains |
Cyclones, dust storms, blacktop trains |
They’re gonna write a new song they blow on by |
Start a revolution and blow on by |
It ain’t ever gonna be the same |
They come east coast, west coast, chryslers and oldsmobiles |
Smoke rolling, chrome on the plains |
Musicians pull over looking over their shoulders |
At hank williams, buddy holly lighting the flame |
Motels, oilwells, truckstop, marines |
Going to california with their pin-up dreams |
Roll down your window, brother, shout out my name |
You’re on route 66, on a blacktop train |
Route 66, on a blacktop train |
