Текст песни The Mother Road (Kevin Welch) с переводом

There used to be a main street cross the country

And that good ol' road would take you all the way

From clark and ogden street up in chicago

I was praised up somewhere in the middle

Me and my daddy watch 'em roll through town

I saw license plates from states I’d only dreamed of

They just wave goodbye and put that hammer down

Well the restless and the desperate

The young ones and the old

All together like a river flowed

Lord I hope they got where they were going

All the children the mother road

The dust bowl okied stoppen in arizona

To trade their family things on gasoline

Just to find themselves outnumbered by the thousands

Who’d already traveled down that road of dreams

When the war was over all the baby booms

Loaded up there cars and they grabbed their kids

Just to count the miles and cuss those big freight liners

Across twenty two hundred miles of route 66

Now the hot top is just ranch roads and runways

And a way of life for some folks is all but gone

You can almost see the ghost towns from the fast lane

Of this super highway we’re rolling on
