Lyrics
Chorus
Oh I love to go a-wandering, I love to hike the trails
Be out there with the birds and fish and toads
And I?ll sing a happy song to Mother Nature just as long as there?s a
Nice hot shower and a clean bed at the end of the road.
Verse 1
Getting down behind a tree is not the way I want to pee
At least until I learn to miss my shoes
And I could camp out in a park but I might wake up in the dark
with those ?what the hell is crawling on me?? blues
Chorus
Oh I love to go a-wandering, I love to hike the trails
Be out there with the birds and fish and toads
And I?ll sing a happy song to Mother Nature just as long as there?s a
Nice hot shower and a clean bed at the end of the road.
Bridge
Now, you might say I?m a princess, a pathetic dilettante
You might think that I?m sheltered and I?m spoiled
Well, I don?t have all the answers but I do know what I want
and I?m not going anywhere you can?t drink the water ?til it?s boiled
Verse 2
Some day I?d lik.e to travel to the far ends of the earth
See the seven wonders of the world
But I?ll go on one provision: that my hotel?s air-conditioned!
I can?t help it, I?m a creature comfort girl
Chorus
Oh I love to go a-wandering, I love to hike the trails
Be out there with the birds and fish and toads
And I?ll sing a happy song to Mother Nature just as long as there?s a
Nice hot shower and a clean bed at the end of the road.
