U.S. Route 66
There are many ghosts along U.S. Route 66. Ghosts of what once was, of a world that has moved on. Lonely outposts, forgotten towns, abandoned ruins, ghosts. Yet they still call out with a melancholy lure, that can quickly capture one’s soul. The route may be less traveled by today, but that can make all the difference.
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.
