Round the Globe

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
