The Glory Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Roe] Glad we're together on the Glory Road We've seen some sights, and we've had some laughs Seen the ghost of all of them Okies Drinkin' Grape Nehi and wine made from the Grapes of Wrath [Chorus 1: Mike Roe] The ice cream stands and salty truck stops Hum-dingers and the auto graves Coca-cola and the no-tell motels Barber shops and Burma Shaves [Verse 2: Terry Scott Taylor] We faced the dust storms comin' over the farmlands Got a grease monkey tunin' up the Pontiac We imagine pickin' up soldiers comin' home for Christmas With Steinbeck and Guthrie and Kerouac [Chorus 2: Terry Scott Taylor] Explored the patchwork of Americana The curios and the burger plates We got a message from the Queen of the Highway Paid attention to a sign that said, "Jesus Saves" [Bridge 1: Terry Scott Taylor and Mike Roe] Sand traps, soft shoulders, wash outs, deep ruts Hustlers, cops and wrecker drivers Sometimes the world's just got it out for us [Bridge 2: Derri Daugherty] (Ooh, ooh) (Ooh) Moonlight falls on the Painted Desert (Ooh) Gershwin floats out of our radio I swear there will be peace for us, baby (Ooh) Someday peace for us (Ooh) Peace in the valley for us, my darlin' (Ooh) One day peace for us all [Verse 3: Terry Scott Taylor] 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 [Chorus 3: Mike Roe] (Ooh) We caught the Metro out in Tulsa Bought a steer horn at Pecan Joes (Ooh) Saw the Blue Whale in Catoosa The Reptile Farm in Cuba, MO [Outro: Terry Scott Taylor] 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 we learned to twirl a rope And we enjoyed what we had While we were here
