David Lee Webster - Henry Ford and Old Tom Edison They Lit The Way Lyrics

Way down in old Fort Myerstown Where the palm trees sway and the sun beats
Down Two great minds, side by side
Built a world where dreams could ride
Henry Ford and old Tom Edison Built the future with their hands
From roaring roads to lights that shine
They lit the way for all mankind
They tinkered, they toiled, they sparked the flame Through every trial, they earned their name
Engines running, wires crossed No dream too wild, no time was lost
From Route 66 to China's lanes The legacy rolls through all terrains
No matter where your tires spin It started here where dreams begin
Henry Ford and old Tom Edison Built the future with their hands
From roaring roads to lights that shine They lit the way for all mankind
Ideas turned to moving steel Bright inventions turned a wheel
Rubber rolled and circuits sparked They lit a fire out of the dark
Their footprints carved in southern stone A legacy that still lives on
Not just machines, but how we dream They forged the modern age's gleam
Henry Ford and old Tom Edison Built the future with their hands
From roaring roads to lights that shine They lit the way for all mankind
So when you're driving through the light Or thinking deep into the night
Remember those who dreamed it true And old Fort Myers by the blue
