Verse 1:
D
There's some friends that I know
D
Living in this town and I've come far to see them.
D
Gonna track em' down.
A                                        D
They live in a brick house painted white and brown.
D
Left a tip for the maid and I packed up my guitar,
D
Dropped my key on the counter, rented a car.
      A                                 D
Gonna hook up with em' later and go hit the bars.

Well I may shake your hand but I won't know your name.

The joke in your language don't come out the same.

There's times when I'm down and there's nothing to blame.

I can work, I can travel, sleep anywhere,

Cross every border with nothing to declare.

You can look back babe, but it's best not to stare.
