Grover Cleveland and Geronimo were out enjoying a Sunday drive
"Take me to the Aerodome!" Geronimo he suddenly did cry
He didn't wait for an answer, he went and took the wheel
The Silver Arrow spun out on an apple peel
Csolgosz begged the mob to let them through to  Highway 62

There's a little bit of everything, baby, just tell me where to go
We can do pizza in Niagara Falls, or Whataburger in old El Paso
The tourism leaflets are fading in the light
Still legible on the reverse is, "For a good time
Set your touring compass to Highway 62"

The rest stop was stripped to the walls, everything that wasn't sold was burned
The looters all took numbers, Czolgosz was still waiting for his turn
Grover got awfully friendly with the help
Said,  "You're a hottie with a smoking body." She said, "You're not so bad yourself
Why's a two-timer like you, on Highway 62?"

The county boys stopped a Chevy, rattling along the boulevard
The driver played it nice and cool, waited till the cops let down their guard
He pressed the pedal to the floor, he knew he had to bail
Flashing lights in his mirrors were hot on his tail
I blocked his path, I wouldn't let him through, on Highway 62

The city canceled miracles, music unilaterally on hold
(Classified as non-essential, since it merely nourishes the soul)
On every star of every flag, some hero had spray-painted, "No goal" (No goal!)
We stopped at a NOCO to get directions from
A disgraced field goal kicker--I think he made them up
They were off a yard or two, from Highway 62

The Silver Arrow was out of gas, and Geronimo was fresh out of ideas

The zoning board let the motels molder where they fell
Saying, "Make like a tree and bury yourself.
Hurry up, you're blocking our view--of Highway 62"
