God Bless America!

Everybody has a dream. My dream, which at this point in my life will probably never happen (oh Well) is to ride across America on my Harley. The most important part of the journey of my dreams is to ride Rt 66, The Famous “Mother Road” of American Legend. Since my bike, Rt 66, and my body are all old and falling apart, I guess I will have to live my dream in a song I wrote several years ago. Here are the Lyrics:

THE MOTHER ROAD
by ML/LTOS c1995

My girlfriend lives in Missouri, on the outskirts of St. Lou.
She fights the River every spring, like all her neighbors do
She’s been to Tahiti, and she loves to figure skate.
She says I’ll always have a place to sleep if I’m ever in her state.

(CHORUS)
I’ll always have a place to stay
When I ride the Mother Road.
At every stop along the way,
I find an open door.
My friends all think that I’m crazy,
But They love me anyway.
And when I ride that Mother Road,
I’ll always have a place to stay.

My cousin lives near Tulsa, right off Rt 66,
In the home town of Will Rogers, in the Oklahoma sticks.
There ain’t a musical instr’ment that the gal can’t play!
She says I’ll always have a place to sleep, if I’m ever out that way.

(CHORUS)
I’ll always have a place to stay
When I ride the Mother Road.
At every stop along the way,
I find an open door.
My friends all think that I’m crazy,
But They love me anyway.
And when I ride that Mother Road,
I’ll always have a place to stay.

(Bridge)
Old Motel on the auction block
Ancient Symbols carved in the rock
Big empty sky, except for a hawk
Looks like someone turned back the clock!
(instrumental solo)

My uncle lives in Texas, and that’s music to my ears.
He once traced his ancestry back to the Trail of Tears
he likes to sleep in the desert, and dance out under the stars.
He says I’ll always have a place to sleep “IF I EVER GET THAT FAR!”

(CHORUS)
I’ll always have a place to stay
When I ride the Mother Road.
At every stop along the way,
I find an open door.
My friends all think that I’m crazy,
But They love me anyway.
And when I ride that Mother Road,
I’ll always have a place to stay.
