Harriet Tubman looks at me
Says "Take a right on Newton Street"
Go past the plot that Sparrow Park is built in
Past Prudential Center and the Hilton
And Dunkin is the first thing that you'll see"

Thank you, Tubman, for your time
Your contribution to this rhyme
You're still a generous woman after death
You give me great advice without a single breath

Who cares about street names
When Harriet, you always stay the same

Harriet Tubman looks at me
Says do things on whatever street
She's vague and now I'm lost in a new city
It's hot as hell and I have no AC, you see
I found out some directions in a pharmacy

I just wish that Harriet Tubman had been there with me
She's not my only friend yet but I've got like 3 and it wouldn't hurt

Miss Tubman's just a statue
And I am oversaturating my experience so far
I'm carrying a backpack and a small guitar

So just give me a break
So Harriet's my muse
I promise you I'm not insane
I'm not insane

Harriet Tubman
