In A State

(album: Join The Club - 2013)

I was stung by the sting of the worst of bees in New Orleans
I was scared and unprepared but right there I was happy
The warm sunset I won't forget
You took my breath it was so perfect
The journey of You and me started in New Orleans

We got the best quality for less in Texas
Two sunset straight
We learned its a state you don't mess with
Papa John's with the TV on
Back when summer just begun
My few but favourite memories of Texas

I wore a cowboy hat reading a country map in New Mexico
We had "I think we're lost" silence, but I'm the co-pilot
That's the best for you, you know
Halfway down the inter state
You left your phone at that picnic place
I kept a cool face while you were irate in New Mexico

And maybe one day you'll come to my town singing
I love you oh oh oh
I'll look at you with that same old smile and I'll say
Where d'you wanna go oh oh oh?

I saw the world behind the wheel
I learnt how to feel in Arizona
I saw the stars felt the change
If I hardly felt the same and I show'd ya
The camp site or maybe the inn
I don't know where this one begins
I just know my heart lies beneath the stars in Arizona

And maybe one day you'll come to my town singing
I love you oh oh oh
I'll look at you with that same old smile and I'll say
Where d'you wanna go oh oh oh?

I guess I can't sing about all the states but in your country they abbreviate
I went to FL and GA and LA and TX and NM and AZ and should I say Z
CO and KS and MO and IL and IN, Ohio and WV
I went to VA and NC and MD and DE and PA and MA and NYC

I last saw you by lake
Was good to see your face in Pennsylvania
Was such a beautiful day when you tried to explain all the truth and that y'know
I told ya I'd never miss the chance under any single circumstance
Again I'd see your face in the United States of America
