Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer,
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know

God said to Abraham, Kill me a son
Abe said, Man you must be puttin' me on
God said no
Abe said What
God said you can do what you want to but
The next time you see me coming, you better run
Abe said, where do you want this killing done
God said, out there on Highway 61

He worked the rice fields
With their cool dark wells

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

On the expressway
to your heart
The expressway
is not the best way
At five o'clock it's much too crowded...

The girls bought some land
and a roadside stand
out on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham
and strawberry jam
and they don't lose any sleep at night

I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention.
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention.

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way
Take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks
On Route 66

And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

It's a highway to heaven
None can walk up there
But the pure in heart
It's a highway to heaven
Going up the King's highway.

For finding me a highway
For driving me home
You've gotta know
For that I serve you

We found a place to settle down
We bought a driveway and a swingset and a dog

Take to the highway,
Won't you lend me your name.
Your way and my way
Seem to be one and the same.
