To Route 66

Dane Karnick

Your roadside whims
Flaunted masonry
Cheap as five and dime
So we took our pick

Hacienda or pueblo
Bungalow or wigwam
And had sweet dreams
In places quaint as

Rest Haven Court
Such polygamy of
Real estate wedded
Countless motels

With a quick I do
Attracting us
Like newlyweds
We stopped by

Save 5 Cents
To fill our tanks
Craving more miles
Across sagebrush

You pan fried
Chilies rellenos
At Monte Carlo
Which helped us

Travel farther to
See rattlesnakes
In Reptile Ranch
How easily you

Drove our need for
Vista by steering
Our desertion
Of home toward

Neon prairies
With souvenirs
To shelve our
Vacancies
