Ce classique du rhythm and blues, écrit en 1946, a été repris par d’innombrables artistes. Dès 1964, les Rolling Stones et Them choisissent de l’inclure sur leurs premiers 33 tours respectifs. Il fait partie du répertoire scénique des Pretty Things durant une bonne partie de leur carrière, sans jamais avoir l’honneur de figurer sur un de leurs albums studio.
Paroles
Well, if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way that’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, 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
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well, 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
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
