Nothing changes here
The people and the atmosphere are completely calm
The price of my old favorite meal special has gone up
The old woman says "You got a problem with that?"

How have you been? You been trying your hardest?
I used to go to a place on the other side of the Yamato River to drink all the time
Back then, everyone in that town would rush out and talk so passionately
Today they're spouting out complaints

Always
I'll run so that I don't give up, so that I don't lose
Just looking ahead, smiling, not hiding my tears
It gives me a push and says "go give 'em all you've got"
This road, Route 26

It's the little things
There's kindness behind these casual words, thanks
The price of my usual meal special has gone down this time
The old woman says "Is this good enough for you?!"

Always
I'll run so that I don't give up, so that I don't lose
Carving out the rhythm, singing, sometimes whistling a tune
It grabs ahold of my shoulders and says "sometimes you've gotta go home"
This road, Route 26

And still
I'll run so that I don't give up, so that I don't lose
Just looking ahead, smiling, not hiding my tears

Oh, my dream will never change...
It started from this road
Carving out the rhythm, singing, sometimes whistling a tune
It grabs ahold of my shoulders and says "sometimes you've gotta go home"
This road, Route 26

The same old Route 26
