I took a bus trip back in time       Round 66 when it was the main line
      Am        G              F      E              Am              G              F           E
I saw teepees and motel, design like events       And then I saw that place      Where we once spent
    Am        G              F      E                    Am             G           F           E
But nostalgia ain't what it used to be      When you take out the good parts and leave in the misery

But if I had to do it again          You know I'd do it with you, it was dumb like sin, yeah!
