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 seaYou might be lost in a daydream rolling down the road

You might be watching that lonesome moon sailing up above

You might be telling a story, you might be singing a song

But when you see that Clifton sign you got to start paying attentionComing up from Portland, headed for Astoria Town

You gonna be looking to the right of the road

For the Gnat Creek Campground

Then you know that you're getting close

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

You gonna be taking an unmarked road now

When it hits the mouth

Coming 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 sightWhen that little road comes too a wide, take the right-hand side

You're gonna be looking for a yellow house where the old car's parked in the drive

Sitting in the bottom of a meadow on a little rise

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