John Mayer · Other Songs - John Mayer
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousands miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
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 Wynonna
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
Won't you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
