Lyrics

I'll Find My Fortune Off Route 66
Fred C. Bruckner

Verse 1
Tossing my cap and gown, loading up, and saying all my goodbyes
My old man's handshake is firm, and tears are rolling from my mamma's eyes
Got my rusty four-barrel Ford gassed up, pointed West, I'm heading out
Leaving with barely a cent to my name, but faith gives me strength and little doubt

Pre-Chorus
Its time to make my own way and see firsthand what this worlds all about

Chorus
Well I've been hitting life's potholes
But ain't letting them stop or slow me down
Cause there's always a new adventure
Moving from town to town
No way of knowing where the road is going
But have to scratch this itch
Someday, someway
I'll find my fortune off route 66

Verse 2
Still searching for the American dream, trusting the Lord above knows my plan
Been grinding out a living day to day, by the work of these callus-worn hands
Cutting hay south of Santa Fe, fate found me stopping to help you change a tire
Taking this journey in a new direction, kicked up by sparks that started a fire

Pre-Chorus
Our road is twisting and turning, but we're buckled up for the long ride higher

Chorus

Bridge
I left home looking to stake my own claim and find my pan of gold
But didn't strike it rich until I found in you the woman I love and forever want to hold

Outro
Well I'd been hitting life's potholes
But didn't let them stop or slow me down
Cause there was always a new adventure
Moving from town to town
No way of knowing where the road was going
But had to scratch that itch
Today, my way, I found my fortune off route sixty-six
I found in you my fortune
You're my fortune, girl
I found my fortune off route sixty-six
