| Up the eastern seaboard destination Portland Maine

| When we saw the people at the concert hall
|
| The seats were for five thousand it made us feel so small

|
| Stopped off at Niagara taking pictures of the falls
|
| Tried to cross the border were accosted by the law
|
| People down in Texas from the red hot burning sun
|
| They couldn’t stand the heatwave but we just kept rollin' on
