Sweet Wednesday - Desert Flowers On Route 66 lyrics

It's overcast today on Route 66 My stomach growls over the engine's roar Drove all night from Dallas to get away From my boyfriend who was just in jail Spent my last two hundred to pay for his bail So I stopped at Phillips 66 when my car would go no more Listen to my story before you walk out that door "Hey mister, I left my wallet at the last station And I got no money for food But I got friends in California And you know we're cool So if you could spare just a little change Well, it'll all add up A dollar every hour puts some fuel in the tank And some food in the glove." So I stopped at Phillips 66 when my car would go no more Listen to my story before you walk out that door I was just a hundred miles from Orange County When the clerk said he was on to my scam He said, "You must leave this place Save your sob stories, I don't give a damn." So I pulled over at the next rest stop To pa** the night As the last tank of gas fell through my engine Like sand through an hourgla** Did you pa** me on Route 66? I was walking by the road Picking desert flowers in the February cold 'Cuz I'm always on Route 66 A shadow pa**ing in the night I'm still out there looking for that violet light Back to top
