Route 66 Lyrics
[Verse]
Well, if you ever plan to motor west
Come my way, take the highway, that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well, it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Chorus]
Well, it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
If you get hip to this kind of trip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Well, it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
If you get hip to this kind of trip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Outro]
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
