Tourist

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’ll roam from town to town, taking snapshots of the world

And I’ll 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’ll roam from town to town, taking snapshots of the world

And I’ll 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’ll take a couple memories, but I won’t stay behind

I’ll never be a number on a population sign

I’m just a tourist, I don’t know where I belong

It might sound foolish, yeah, but nowhere feels like home

So I’ll roam from town to town, taking snapshots of the world

And I’ll 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 you

See you when I see you
