The Glory Road Songtext

Words by Terry Taylor Music by Daniel Amos ©1995 Twitchen Vibes Music (ASCAP) 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 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 We've explored 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 out, 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
