Lyrics

Tourist

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm sunny-side and over easy

Hundred miles from Alameda

Stopping by and taking in the view

Just pickin' up a souvenir

Swap a story, share a beer

Feel the itch that makes me wanna move

'Cause there's always been a stranger in my soul

Who loves a good goodbye and a good hello

I'm just a tourist

I don't know where I belong, it might sound foolish

Yeah, but nowhere feels like home

So I roam from town to town

Taking snapshots of the world

And I laugh away the lonely

And give a local bar a whirl

And I wanna see it all so I keep movin'

I'm just a tourist

I'm the guitar case and a denim jacket

If I don't need it I don't pack it

Mama always told me: Travel light

I'm better on the interstate

I'll hitch a ride or take a train

Always one more postcard I can write

I guess Hohenwald is my hometown for now

I'll sit a spell but I won't hang around

'Cause I'm just a tourist

I don't know where I belong, it might sound foolish

Yeah, but nowhere feels like home

So I roam from town to town

Taking snapshots of the world

And I laugh away the lonely

And give the local bar a whirl

And I wanna see it all so I keep movin'

I'm just a tourist

I'll take a couple memories but I won't stay behind

I'll never be a number on a population sign

'Cause I'm just a tourist

I don't know where I belong, it might sound foolish

Yeah, but nowhere feels like home

So I roam from town to town

Taking snapshots of the world

And I laugh away the lonely

And give a local bar a whirl

And I wanna see it all so I keep movin'

I'm just a tourist

I'm just a tourist

Mighty nice to meet ya

See you when I see ya
