Well if you ever plan to motor east
Take the highway that’s still there piece by piece
You can still get your kicks on Rt. 66
It winds to Chicago from L.A.
With lots of nostalgia along the way
You can still get your kicks on Rt. 66
Santa Monica to Ludlo, Needles to Oatman
Seligman up to Williams where the sky's wide open
Grants, Albuquerque, Santa Rosa, Tucumcari too
See Amarillo, Tulsa, Oklahoma
Litchfield, Springfield, Elkhart and Lincoln
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
And take that Cal to Chi-town trip
You can still get your kicks on Rt. 66
"Look Out Chicago"
If I don't leave real soon I'm gonna pay the price
If I don't go I'm gonna suffer big
The sun is rising and it's getting hot
The road near Needles is a melting pot
Now California's been fine I guess
Movie stars beaches and all the rest
But there's a girl that I love back in Illinois
She's the engine for the heart of this ole' boy
I'll sing a road song
As I roll along
I'll sing out real loud
I don't need a big crowd
I'll drink some real strong joe
Look out Chicago
I'm goin' fishin' got my fishin' pole
I'm goin' fishin goin' down to the fishin' hole
Hope them fish is gonna' be there too
Would you like for me to catch one for you
Cook'um up in the fryin' pan
Put a smile on your face
You know baby, I'm your fishin' man
I'm goin' sailin' goin' down to the lake today\
I'm goin' sailin ain't nothin' like sailin' in May
Oh the breeze is balmy and your eyes are blue
I'd feel a whole ot better if I was sailin' with you
Put a smile on your face
You know baby, together we could sail away
Put a smile on your face
Baby you light up the place
You put a smile in my heart
That's how love gets started
That's how love, that's how love, that's how love gets started
I'm goin' ridin' gonna cruise on down the road
I'm goin' ridin' got her shined and she's ready to go
Please say you'll come along with me
You can sit real close, that's the way it should be
Wrap your arms around me, hold me tight
You know baby, I could be your lover tonight
"Fine Machine"
Tearin' it down
Wrenchin' it up
Tearin' it down
Wrenchin' it up
A thousand cc's
I've got the riding disease
Got to bolt it in
So I'll be riding again
Swingin' some wrenches
bustin' some skin
Linin' it up
measure it once and again
And every place I go they will know
Your heart and mine is in this fine machine
And every road I take, all the love I make
Comes thru here in this fine machine
Fine machine, sparkle and gleam
Father's pride, personified
Soon I'm gonna ride this fine machine
It'll look like a show piece
Creme de la creme
It'll turn the heads
Of the ladies and men
Anything worth doin'
Is worth doin well
Give it your all or nothing
You know they always can tell
"Top Of The Road"
Top of the road, top of the road
Travel to the top of the road
Williams to Flagstaff is a beautiful drive
It's the prettiest stretch of the road
Ponderosa pines on red cinder slopes
Will make you wish that this was your home
There's a slow train that goes to the canyon
Ski slopes for those who go fast
Or you can unwind in a beautiful meadow
And watch a herd of elk as they pass
If you're going east at sundown
The San Francisco peaks are a sight
The snow-capped purple mountain majesty
Will creep into your dreams that night
If you drive to the top of the road, top of the road
Travel to the top of the road
When the burdens of the daily grind get heavy
You can really lighten your load
Take that ribbon of highway from Williams to Flagstaff
That stretch I call the top of the road
If your going west at sunrise
You're in for a beautiful sight
Coming down off the mountain you can see forever
In that cool fresh morning light
Top of the road, top of the road
Travel to the top of the road
" I Just Want To Ride"
I had a pretty good time in high school
I made the best of the emotional whirlpool
I wasn't thinking too much 'bout where my future would lead
I had a band that played on the weekends
I made a few bucks sellin' odds and ends
Life was coming easy and it seemed to work for me
I had a girlfriend that said she loved me
I had the moon and the stars above me
It seemed like everything was going right
Then I saw that motorcycle
The thought of ridin' it was so delightful
Now I've got tunnel vision on that black-top ribbon of thrills
I can't seem to focus on anything but the road that's there before me
I get a lot of pleasure just glidin' thru this country that I love
The folks back home think I've gone a little crazy
They know better than to call me lazy
I've got two wheels, two legs, two lanes and I just want to ride
I just want to ride till' the road stops
Ride to the valleys and the mountain tops
I just want to ride, I just want to ride
I just want to ride till' I see it all
Ride in the sunrise and the nightfall
I just want to ride, I just want to ride
"R V Free Me"
Now that I'm more secure, don't have to work so hard
I'm inclined to roam in my motor-home
Don't have to pack a lunch
Don't have a traffic crunch
I ride on easy street
And when I find a spot
That I like a lot
I stop and stay awhile, it's become my style
RV free me
RV free me
The freezer stays cold, the water gets hot
The awning rolls in and out
The dish is there if I need the world
But the freedom's what it's all about
No need to blaze a trail
No need to get there fast
Wherever that may be
Well I just scoot on down
The open road
And see what's there to see, in my motor home
I ride along in my motor home
I take the time to smell the flowers everyday
"Destiny"
Come on brother 'cause time is a thief
A Harley with a springer and your rebuilt Chief
Roll back the throttle and kick start your heart
The blacktop is a canvas for mechanical art
There ain't no rules 'cause there ain't no right
With some gas and some luck we'll be in Phoenix tonight
Here we go brother let's peel us some road
With leather for looks and zip for a load
We're ridin' down that highway, flyin' low
High on the taste of the open road
We won't back down if it comes to a fight
With some cash and some luck we'll pass Durango tonight
Freedom, it's the wind in my face
Freedom, from the same old place
Freedom, it's the way I feel
Eatin' up the highway on American steel
Come on brother there's adventure out there
There's mountains and valleys and girls with long hair
Further down the road our fate may be sealed
But we're destined for greatness today on two wheels
When we make it to Sturgis the scene will be right
For the show in the daytime and the party at night
"Reminisce On The Mother Road"
Let's just go a little bit slower
Let's just take a little more time
Let's turn the clock a little bit backwards
Back to the youth that’s still in out mind
Now we don't need to ride that fast track
We don't need that stop and go
We'll just cruise that ribbon of highway
Let's reminisce on the mother road
Outside of Ashfork on to Kingman
There is a stretch of road so fine
Just a few miles from the four-lane
You'll get the feelin' goin' back in time
You've been workin' of that classic
You've been spendin' money and time
The weather here's great here most everyday
So take her out and let her unwind, let her unwind
Stop at the Snow Cap for a soda
See the canyon if the light is right
There's not enough of this kind of travelin'
Enjoy this trip while there's still time, while there's still time
while there's still time
Outside of Kingman on to Ashfork
There is a stretch of road so fine
Just a few miles from the rat race
You get the feeling that you're back in time
"Along The Way"
Gonna' take a trip to a preplanned destination
Gonna' see some sights along the way
I'll be going faster than the guy that's walkin'
But, not so fast that I won't be talkin' to the folks I meet
Along The Way
Along the way I'll encounter a great adventure
Along the way I'll make some memories every day
And when I reach that final destination
I'll know I made the most of the trip from here to there
In the stops I made along the way
I'll take a back road, take back my kick-back
I'll let it unfold, slow down life's impact
Gonna' go now I've got my reservation
From it all my machine will take me away
This trip will be a part of my life's journey
I'll see the world as it keeps turning moving me along
Along the way
