Glad we're together on the glory road,
We've seen some sights and we've had some laughs,
Seen the ghosts of all them Okies drinking Grape Nehi and wine made from the grapes of wrath.
The ice cream stands and the salty truck stops,
Hum Dingers and the auto graves,
Coca Cola and the no-tell motels,
Barber shops and Burma shaves.
We'll beat the dust storms coming over the farmlands,
Got a grease monkey tuning up the Pontiac,
We imagine picking up soldiers coming home for Christmas with Steinbeck, and Guthrie, and Kerouac.

Explore the patchwork of Americana,
The curios and the burger plates,
We got a blessing from the Queen of the Highway,
Paid attention to a sign that said 'Jesus Saves'
Sand traps, soft shoulders, wash outs, deep ruts,
Hustlers, cops and wrecker drivers,
Sometimes the world's just got it out for us.

Moonlight falls on the painted desert,
Gershwin flows out of our radio,
I swear there will be peace in the valley for us baby,
Someday, peace for us,
Peace in the valley for us baby,
I swear, peace for us.

Glad we're together on the glory road,
Hey, let's go crazy and thicken the plot,
Can't back out now that we've paid our admission,
There's just one exit from the mystery spot.
We hit the Metro out in Tulsa,
Bought a steer horn at Pecan Joe's,
Saw the blue whale in Catoosa,
The 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 gravy and learned to twirl a rope,
And enjoyed what we had while we were here.
