The Glory Road

[Verse 1]
Glad we're together on the Glory Road
We've seen some sights, and we've had some laughs
Seen the ghosts of all them Okies
Drinking Grape Nehi and wine made from the Grapes of wrath

[Chorus 1]
The ice cream stands and the salty truck stops
Humdingers and the auto graves
Coca Cola and the no-tell motels
Barber shops and Burma shaves

[Verse 2]
We'll beat the dust storms coming over the farmlands
Got a grease monkey tuning up the Pontiac
We imagine picking up soldiers coming home for Christmas
With Steinbeck, and Guthrie, and Kerouac

[Chorus 2]
Explored the patchwork of Americana
The curios and the burger plates
We got a blessing from the Queen of the highway
Paid attention to a sign that said "Jesus Saves"

[Bridge 1]
Sand traps, soft shoulders
Washouts, deep ruts
Hustlers, cops and wrecker drivers
Sometimes the world's just got it out for us

[Bridge 2]
Moonlight falls on the painted desert
Gershwin floats out of our radio
I swear there will be peace in the valley for us, baby
Someday, peace for us
Peace in the valley for us, baby
I swear, peace for us

[Verse 3]
Glad we're together on the glory road
Hey, let's go crazy and thicken the plot
Can't back out now that we've paid our admission
There's just one exit from the Mystery Spot

[Chorus 3]
We hit the Metro out in Tulsa
Bought a steer horn at Pecan Joe's
Saw the blue whale in Catoosa
The reptile farm in Cuba, MO

[Outro]
If at the end of the line there ain't no pot of gold
Just the Santa Monica pier
Well, we loved our biscuits and gravy
And we learned to twirl a rope
And we enjoyed what we had
While we were here
