Ghost of Route 66 (American Daydream)

Slow and steady
always wins the race.
That's what we all believe in.
Its a shared and saving grace.
Idle hearts and idle hands
are the devil's to command.
We all understand.

But during every commute to work from our suburbs in the sticks,
in the middle of every road lurks the ghost of Route 66.

We try to find some sleep
in the beds that we've made.
We try to be content building on
the foundations that we've laid.
But we're haunted that we might have put aside
everything that makes us feel alive,
content just to abide.

But during every commute to work from our suburbs in the sticks,
in the middle of every road waits the ghost of Route 66.
But during every commute to work from our suburbs in the sticks,
in the middle of every road waits the ghost of Route 66.

But during every commute to work from our suburbs in the sticks
From the middle of every road calls the ghost of Route 66
But during every commute to work from our suburbs in the sticks
From the middle of every road calls the ghost of Route 66

So we pay our pipers
and we mind our stores.
We try so very hard,
always working a little more,
hoping no life lived can be counted bad
if we give them more than daddy had.
