lyrics

There's a road a mile south
That you might have heard about
I must have driven it a thousand times
Its the mightiest dirt track
Across four counties and back
And it leads me back to when I was a child

In the winter it gets choppy
Come springtime it gets sloppy
Gets torn up by those tractor trailer tires
But that's when I love it best
When you can't keep the wheels in check
'Cause the shoulders spread a mile from side to side

Refrain:
They're gonna pave that road
Gonna pave the muddy road
Gonna take away a load of slippin' slidin' fun
Its the widest road of gravel
That you're ever gonna travel
Drivin' down the 661

Well it occurs to me
That you might all disagree
When I tell you they should leave that road alone
The highway might be slicker
But the traffic will be thicker
And you're gonna miss your peaceful country home

Refrain

The popular opinion
Calls for layin' down the bitumen
And I guess they better get what they want
But it'll always be
A gravel road to me
O Lord I'm gonna miss that 661

Refrain
