Route 30

Route 30, Route 30 from the coast of Oregon

Gets almost to Chicago before it takes a turn

And it cuts on down to the Jersey Shore

Interstate 5 out of Portland, headed on up north

When you hit Route 30 you wanna take it on out west

Where the big river rolls onto the rocky sea

You might be lost in a daydream, rollin' down the road

You might be watching that lonesome moon sailing up above

You might be tellin' a story, you might be singin' a song

But when you see that Clifton sign you got to start paying attention

Comin'  up from Portland, headed for Astoria Town

You gonna be lookin' to the right of the road

For the Gnat Creek Campground

Then you know that you're gettin' close

When you pass that Brownsmead Hill Road, look down at your dial

You gonna be takin' an unmarked road now when it hits the mouth

Comin' up close to the crest of the hill, look down at your right

At the end of two sets of guard rails, that road will come into sight

When that little road comes too wide, take the right-hand side

You're gonna be lookin' for a yellow house

Where the old car's parked in the drive

Sittin' in the bottom of a meadow on a little rise

And if you see snark Hurley, would you tell him I said hi?

Oh, you might be lost in a daydream, rollin' down the road

You might be watching that lonesome moon sailing up above

You might be holdin' your baby's hand or squeezin' on his knee

But if you see snark Hurley, would you give him my love please?
