Verse 1
The sun comes up on a desert line
Chrome and dust, your hand in mine
Leather jacket, engine breath
Every mile we cheat the rest
Pre-Chorus
Maps are torn, but we don’t care
Dreams ride shotgun in the open air
Chorus
Down Route 66 we ride tonight
Two wild hearts, one burning light
Steel and love beneath the stars
No looking back, just endless bars
On this old road, it’s you and me
Freedom tastes like gasoline
Verse 2
Neon signs and ghost town bars
Stories written in scars
Wind keeps singing our old song
Says we’ve been free all along
Pre-Chorus
No gold, no crown, no promised land
Just your weight holding my hand
Chorus
Down Route 66 we ride tonight
Dust and fire in our eyes
Motor hums like a prayer
We disappear into nowhere
On this old road, wild and true
Every mile leads back to you
Bridge
If the world burns down behind
Let it burn, love — we’re already gone
Final Chorus
Down Route 66 till the end
Lovers, riders, more than friends
When the road runs out of lines
I’ll still be riding by your side
Outro
Just wind, steel, and open sky
Forever young, never goodbye
The sun comes up on a desert line
Chrome and dust, your hand in mine
Leather jacket, engine breath
Every mile we cheat the rest
Pre-Chorus
Maps are torn, but we don’t care
Dreams ride shotgun in the open air
Chorus
Down Route 66 we ride tonight
Two wild hearts, one burning light
Steel and love beneath the stars
No looking back, just endless bars
On this old road, it’s you and me
Freedom tastes like gasoline
Verse 2
Neon signs and ghost town bars
Stories written in scars
Wind keeps singing our old song
Says we’ve been free all along
Pre-Chorus
No gold, no crown, no promised land
Just your weight holding my hand
Chorus
Down Route 66 we ride tonight
Dust and fire in our eyes
Motor hums like a prayer
We disappear into nowhere
On this old road, wild and true
Every mile leads back to you
Bridge
If the world burns down behind
Let it burn, love — we’re already gone
Final Chorus
Down Route 66 till the end
Lovers, riders, more than friends
When the road runs out of lines
I’ll still be riding by your side
Outro
Just wind, steel, and open sky
Forever young, never goodbye
