Old 30 Lyrics - C.w. Mccall

(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
