Lyrics
ROUTE 65
Well I’m hoppin’ in my jalopy
And I’m headin’ on down that road
I’m driving’ on down that winding road of life, life, life
There’s a sign post up ahead
It says some day I’m gonna be dead
So I’d better make the most of every day, day, day
Beep Beep Route 65, I thank God that I’m alive
Cause some day, you know, I’ll be dead and gone, gone, gone
Life is such a thrill, as I’m drivin’ on over that hill
Life is an adventure every day, day, day
I can put my foot on the gas
And I can zoom it right on past
Or I can slow it on down
And savor every sight and sound and taste
I can savor every moment
Or I can let it fly on by
My drive is really only up to me, me, me
Beep Beep Route 65, I thank God that I’m alive
Cause some day, you know, I’ll be dead and gone, gone, gone
Life is such a thrill, as I’m drivin’ on over that hill
Life is an adventure every day, day, day
If it’s bumper to bumper
Or it’s only lonely me
That traffic keeps on moving every day, day, day
If it’s highway construction
Or it’s slippery when wet
It’s the route that makes the difference
In every way, way, way
Beep Beep Route 65, I thank God that I’m alive
Cause some day, you know, I’ll be dead and gone, gone, gone
Life is such a thrill, as I’m drivin’ on over that hill
Life is an adventure every day, day, day
Life is such a thrill, as I’m drivin’ on over that hill
Life is an adventure every day
