Crossing 66
© 2004 Nancy K. Dillon

1) I crossed that road 1000 nights
Asphalt river to the left and right
The only part of it I owned
Was 18 blocks from Elm to Stone

2) Stuck there in that dusty town
I watched the wind whirl trash around
No one heard the silent sound
My suffocated screams unwound

CHO: The Lord's house was behind me
In front the donut shop
We'd race to beat the traffic
And never once be caught

3) They say the night has 1000 eyes
And I could never help but see
That 1 day I would take that road
That snaked in back and front of me

CHO: 16 years to get my wheels
7 more to get aligned
The westward wind blew me free
To leave the dust and chains behind

4) 66, you're on my mind
66, you're all I need
66, you're in my dreams
Oh, let me fly with reckless speed
Crossing, oh-oh, crossing
Crossing, oh-oh, crossing
My love song to a highway...

Inspired by Oklahoma & Texas troubadours Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Kevin Welch, Dillon's songs are short stories about characters that populate true American life. ... more
