Even though it hasn't been around since 1861, I'll go with the Pony Express.

Giddy up!

He pulled out of Denver early that mornin'
He said, ''You'll never guess where I've been
A highjacker needed a lift down to Cuba
So your mail will be late getting in.''

I said, ''I hear you mister and you do your job well
But you know it ain't been that long
They were doing it best with the pony express
Before you and your friends came along.''

BUMP

No stop signs
Speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel
Gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me around….

Fun draft…. Very challenging!

The life I love is making music with my friends….

Bump

Since I work for the DOT on right-of-way projects I feel like I should play!

I'll take I-55 since we're currently working on a bridge project across the Mississippi River in Memphis.

I-70 please

Happy to have you Ben!

Working on the highway, laying down the blacktop
Working on the highway, all day long I don't stop
Working on the highway, blasting through the bedrock
Working on the highway, working on the highway

Curious why no interstate 40 since I live between Nashville and Memphis.

I was going to but realized a lot of it runs over Route 66.
That being said, we can always add another route to the list of possible contenders!!

Upon further review and a family member request, I’m going to switch and take a ride along US 40

Maybe a thief stole your heart
Or maybe we just drifted apart
I remember driving
In my daddy's car to the airfield
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield
Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
That paradise is buried in the dust….

That's something I didn't know about I-40!

I did learn it has the most semi truck traffic out of all US interstates and I'd believe it.

I-10 for me-coast to coast

I-10 for me-coast to coast

Great to have you at the starting line!

I'm travelin' down the road
I'm flirtin' with disaster
I've got the pedal to the floor
My life is running faster
I'm out of money, I'm out of hope
It looks like self destruction
Well how much more can we take
With all of this corruption….

Great theme! The Lincoln Highway was "main street" in my small town growing up - US 30 for me, thanks!
