McDermit

Long road stretches out to nowhere
Few cars between you and there
The vast desert exposes her beauty
A landscape so amazing yet few see 

Danger is a partner as you advance
Be alert and guarded as all it takes is a glance
A tire blows or run out of fuel
Simple issues but here it becomes survival school 

On the road small towns and odd scenes
Seeing the country by road ignites your dreams 

The straight wide road and speed limit of eight zero
You fly along unaware  of the trooper hero
Red and blue lights interrupt your thoughts
Cruising at ninety five gets you cited on the spot
Back on your way the Trooper no longer in sight
One hundred and one as you scream into the twilight 

On the road small towns and odd scenes
Seeing the country by road ignites your dreams 

America's west is a land all eyes should see
Not a place to live but as you go its where you want to be
Amazing landscapes, tribal homes, and abundant life
An unlikely harbor offering a buffer against your strife 

A small town straddling two states
You go off road into the hills where your target waits
Rare opal petrified wood and countless  rarities
Hours spent gathering rocks and billion year old trees 

Experiencing this nature you know you are really alive
Long hours and many miles but well worth the drive 

On the road small towns and odd scenes
Seeing the country by road ignites your dreams
