Lyrics
VERSE 1
I went from Barcelona to Valencia, Spain
don't remember how I got there, but I got there just the same
and that's what matters, when you're on the move
VERSE 2
I met a British couple in Valencia town
didn't know where we were going, so we just walked around
Nothing else matters, when you're in a groove
CHORUS 1
all we had were bad directions, we didn't have waze
The things that we saw, were all sites to amaze
I'd like to go back there one of these days
and if I got lost again, there would be no malaise
VERSE 3
I wasn't lost for long, for the town's a bit small
Walk for a day, and you 'bout seen it all
It's the gettin' there that matters, when you're on the go
(solo)
VERSE 4
I went from Valencia to Alicante, Spain
I'm pretty sure I traveled by a rickety train
But I wasn't too picky, I was rollin' with the flow
CHORUS 2
We all ate supper at a quarter to nine
There were tapas, paella and sangria wine
I finally got to bed at the light of the sun
didn't get much sleep, but I had a lot of fun
VERSE 5
I saw Granada, Sevilla and Madrid, Spain
I met Henry and Eliza and the rain on the plain
or something like that, or I was on the move
