This classic piece by Chuck Berry is a vibrant ode to the quintessential American road trip on the iconic Route 66. It captures the spirit of freedom and adventure that marked mid-century American culture, inviting listeners to experience the diverse landscapes and cultures across this historic highway. The lyrics are a literal roadmap, mentioning cities from Chicago to Los Angeles, encapsulating a journey of over 2000 miles. The repeated phrase "Get your kicks on Route 66" serves as an enticing call, encouraging people to embrace spontaneity and exploration. Ultimately, it's not just about reaching California; it's about savoring the journey itself. This song is thus a timeless celebration of wanderlust and the open road in the context of post-war American optimism.
Route 66
Lyrics
Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way it's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it goes from 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
Kingsman, Barstaw, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly trip
And take that California trip
Get your kick on Route 66
It goes from 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
Kingsman, Barstaw, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly trip
Take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
And I'll meet you on Route 62
Get your kicks on Route 66
