Route 66 Lyrics

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that is best
Get your kicks on route sixty-six
It winds from Chicago to L.A
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on route sixty-six

Now you go through Saint Louis
Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
You see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
Go and take that California trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six

Now you go through Saint Louis
Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
You see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
Go and take that California trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six
Get your kicks on route sixty-six
Get your kicks on route sixty-six

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
