Excuse me Mr. Troup
I think I missed a turn somewhere
So tell me; what's the scoop?
How do you get there?
New Route 66 is a little different trail
Hot enough to melt your tires
And burn the devil's tail
New Route 66; they've got rooms for let
HBO, outdoor pools, and free wireless internet
The old road has given way
To interstates and airplanes
Fifty-five is all you'll drive
But no one here complains
'Cuz New Route 66 is just a state of mind
And you can ride it swingin' the blues that the music left behind
On New Route 66
My Route 66
New Route 66
Souvenir shop for a pitstop
Anywhere on the strip
Kokopelli rub their belly
For good luck on your trip
Pasadena to Glenrio
Your tour guide is named Giacomo
Just outside Carlinville
The white writing on the brown sign
Points the way to America
This land yours and mine
Excuse me Mr. Cole
If you're ever back in town
We'll go cruisin' Tucumcari
With the ragtop down
On New Route 66
My Route 66
New Route 66

Short Song Description:
One man's quest to find the zen of all highways. He gets lost at times, but comes to realize the road Bobby Troup and Nat King Cole traveled really does still exist; even if only in his own mind.
Push your seat back and take a ride with Swanee on "New Route 66"
