Old 30 Songtext / Lyric

(bill fries, chip davis)



She was mud and sand and concrete

Mixed with water made a' tears

From the rivers runnin' down the great divide

She was three thousand miles

Of rockin', rollin' highway

A million mem'ries long and two lanes wide



Far across the wide missouri

To the ol' wyomin' line

From the jersey shore to san francisco bay

She was known to all the truckers

As the mighty lincoln highway

But to me, she's still old 30 all the way






Now the interstate goes screamin' through the backyard of her life

But it just don't send those shivers down my spine

So before I take that exit

To the highway in the sky

I'm gonna take old 30 one more time



She was radiators boilin'

In the burnin' summer sun

And a blizzard blowin' wild across the plains

She was tumbleweeds a-rollin'

In the gentle winds of fall

And the lights of old grand island in the rain



She was mud and sand and concrete

Mixed with water made a' tears

From the rivers runnin' down the great divide

She was three thousand miles

Of rockin', rollin' highway

A million mem'ries long and two lanes wide



Now the interstate goes screamin' through the backyard of her life

But it just don't send those shivers down my spine

So before I take that exit

To the highway in the sky

I'm gonna take old 30 one more time



One more time
