| Friends, countrymen, fellow americans
|
| I just came back from overseas
|
| And they’re carrying on about how we don’t go out not
|
| Travelling
|
| They doubt we even leave the house
|
| I’m not mad at them
|
| Cos for real there’s still some places we haven’t been
|
| In fact I’m in the airport now, I’m going back again
|
| Time’s a wasting and I’m impatient
|
| I ain’t waiting, I’ve been put in for vacation
|
| Ain’t saying no more man I’m going to pack
|
| And when I hit the road I don’t know how to act
|
| And if I like it I ain’t going back
|
| We’re going round the globe
|
| When will it stop, no-one knows
|
| We’re going round the globe
|
| Round and round it goes
|
| Now it’s noble to act global, but not staying local
|
| Sorry not me, too many places to go to
|
| Like istanbul, not constantinople
|
| Can’t I show you the world
|
| Get out man why don’t you
|
| Hopefully if you won’t go with me
|
| You’ll still want to see the world beyond tv
|
| Well I got my passport I’m ready to blast off
|
| I asked for the same seat I had on the last tour
|
| Ain’t taking no bags just the clothes on my back
|
| And when I’m on the road I don’t know how to act
|
| And if I like it I ain’t going back
|
| We’re going round the globe
|
| When will it stop, no-one knows
|
| We’re going round the globe
|
| Round and round it goes
|
| Now I don’t care if it’s long or if it’s a short visit
|
| Just come, countries look more different when you’re in
|
| It
|
| I’m going back to ny when the tour finishes
|
| When I’m bored with it I’m back in a new york minute
|
| Forget it stay stateside
|
| I’m into the great wide open on the next thing smokin'
|
| Took a train ride up to jfk
|
| I just called to say bye
|
| The place I’m going, wherever this plane flies
|
| Ain’t taking no bag just my coat and my hat
|
| And when I’m on the road I don’t know how to act
|
| I don’t think I’m ever going back |
