Route 66

Scenery from the turnpike has its beauty
You speed along and drink it in
Drinking from the fire hose
     of sky and grass and hills and trees

Scenery from the local highway has its beauty
Stoplights and slower speeds let you absorb it
Absorbing at a slower pace
     the buildings and the people and the trains
