Lyrics
I'M A TOURIST
VERSE 1
I'm a tourist. I can't stay here forever. Someday I'll move on just like
the rolling river. I can't say for sure how long I'll be around but as long
as I'm here I'm gonna paint up this town.
CHORUS
I'm gonna make myself some friends and we'll have a good time.
Gonna eat up some good food. Enjoy some liquor and wine. I'm
gonna take in all the sights and sounds. Might even meet someone.
We could wind up together . Raise a daughter and son. I'm not
kidding myself I'm certain of this. Someday I'll have to leave cause
after all I'm a tourist.
VERSE 2
And when it's time to go and I have to leave this place. Hopefully I'll
put a smile on somebody's face. Then you can mark my name off
your invitation list. Like I've been saying all along---I'm a tourist.
REPEAT CHORUS
Nothing more nothing less. I'm a tourist ----------I'm a tourist.
