Memories on Route 66

Yeah, yeah,

Driving down that road, thinking ‘bout the days we had,

Lost my brother on Route 66, man, it’s just so sad.

Cruisin’ with the top down, sun setting on our backs,

Laughs echo from the speakers, it’s all in the tracks.

You said, "Let’s hit the highway, let’s make some memories,"

But life’s just a gamble, brings the harshest penalties.

Got the news, it hit me like a freight train blast,

My heart dropped, wishing it wasn’t true, so fast.

We had plans to run wild, run free like the wind,

Now I’m riding alone, missing my best friend.

Every mile I drive, I feel your spirit near,

But every turn I take, I’m drowning in tears.

On Route 66, I remember your smile,

The sunsets we chased, all the fun, all the miles.

But now I’m alone, left with shadows and pain,

A ghost in the passenger seat riding with the rain.

You were the one who taught me the way to stay strong,

In a world that feels right, we were where we belonged.

Now I drive through the echoes, just a memory's call,

Hoping for a sign, just one last stroll down the hall.

Thinking about car rides, late-night talks,

Yeah, the laughter that filled nights and those long walks.

Now silence fills my soul where your voice used to be,

Lost on this journey, wish you were here with me.

Every mile I drive, I feel your spirit near,

But every turn I take, I’m drowning in tears.

On Route 66, I remember your smile,

The sunsets we chased, all the fun, all the miles.

But now I’m alone, left with shadows and pain,

A ghost in the passenger seat riding with the rain.

So I’ll turn up the music, let it play loud,

For you, my brother, I’ll scream and shout.

This love never fades, you’ll always be with me,

Every time I hit that road, you’ll be my energy.

On Route 66, we’ll ride again someday,

Till then, I’ll keep moving, just trying to find my way.

Yeah, losing you hurts, but I’ll wear it like a crown,

‘Cause you’re still riding shotgun, never let me down.
