The Glory Road – Daniel Amos – letras

Glad we’re together on the Glory RoadWe’ve seen some sights and we’ve had some laughsSeen the ghosts of all them Okies,Drinking Grape Nehi and wine made from theGrapes of wrathThe ice cream stands and the salty truck stopsHum Dingers and the auto gravesCoca Cola and the no-tell motelsBarber shops and Burma shavesWe’ll beat the dust stormsComin’ over the farmlandsGot a grease monkey tunin’ up the PontiacWe imagine pickin’ up soldiersComin’ home for ChristmasWith Steinbeck, and Guthrie, and KerouacWe’ve explored the patchwork of AmericanaThe curios and the burger platesWe got a blessing from the Queen of the Highway,Paid attention to a sign that said « Jesus Saves »Sand traps, soft shoulders, wash out, deep rutsHustlers, cops and wrecker driversSometimes the world’s just got it out for usMoonlight falls on The painted desertGershwin flows out of Our radioI swear there will be Peace In the valley for Us, babySomeday, peace for usPeace in the valley for us, Baby, I swear, peace for usGlad we’re together onThe Glory RoadHey, let’s go crazy and thicken the plotCan’t back out now that we’ve paid our admissionThere’s just one exit from the Mystery SpotWe hit the Metro out in Tulsabought a steer horn at Pecan Joe’sSaw the blue whale in CatoosaThe reptile farm in Cuba, MO.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 gravyAnd learned to twirl a ropeAnd enjoyed whatWe had while we were here
