"Tourist" lyrics

"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
