there is a road (route 50) - Lyrics
I have heard stories told of that old route 50 road
about three thousand miles or more, coast to coast and shore to shore
my dad's dad, his dad too, paved this road a whole state through
now i'm stuck here on the side of the road I long to ride
there is a road outside my door that sometimes calls my name
wind it starts a-shifting, thinking somethings about to change
now it's either east or west, how will I know my way
oh it's calling, calling me from my home
through the hills and through the pines, how that freedom road she winds
past the farms and through the towns, now you're ocean city bound
turn around the other way to that san francisco bay
she lies down, east to west, carved her name on america's chest
now you know i can not stay, gotta get out on my way
kiss me girl, i'm headed out, see what this land's all about
now some folks in washington want to cut out all the funds
so i'll go before she's gone, let that freedom road live on
