Around The World In 80 Days

(album: Shirley - 2013)

I've been a lonely fool tryin to figure out
Searchin around the world, it's taken all I've got
Midwest is callin me, it's callin me back
I jump on a flight you see and train it when I'm back
Swing down to Kansas but I saw Tucky to my right
Memphis or Nashville for the night

Maybe to Chicago, or to Key Largo, I'll follow anywhere the wind blows
Maybe to Bergoda, we can do some coca
They used to put that gin and soda
We would be standed there for days, tomorrow come what may
Around the world in eighty days

Maybe a plan you see will keep us safe from bare
I'll jump on a flight you need to help us set the sail
Or drive down to Texas, see the Longhorns win the state
And zip right up here to LA

We could go to Boston, or down to Austin, or find some city to get lost in
Up to Minnesota, it is just so cold there, I'd rather be down there in Georgia
We will be drivin there for days, and tomorrow come what may
Around the world in eighty days

I drive down to Vegas and will play Blackjack through the night
At six AM the sun's so bright

Oh and it was Karen, she was from Manhatten, and she had dresses made of satin
Down to Carolina, sun is always brighter, and we were feelin so much lighter
Maybe downtown we would stay, Lord I miss those college days
Around the world in eighty days
