Route 66
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you ever plan to motor west
Take my way the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
You go through St Louis Joplin Missoury
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo Gallup New Mexico
Flagtop Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingman Barstow San Bernardino
Won't you get hip with this kind of trip
When you get that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Fiddle - piano]
You go through St Louis Joplin Missoury...
Get your kicks on Route hrrr 66
