Tour the States Songtext

von Renald Francoeur

I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah
Places I've never been, yeah
Going on tour without a care
I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah
Places I've never been, yeah
Going on a tour, tour, tour

First, I'm gonna see Nashville, Tennessee
Then Madison, Wisconsin, is where I gotta be, yeah
Then I'll take a plane
Well actually I'm afraid to fly, so I think I'll take the train
Let's go!
Going to Trenton, New Jersey; Frankfurt, Kentucky
Maybe take a trip to Jackson, Mississippi
Let's see what they can show me in Jefferson City, Missouri
Santa Fe, New Mexico; Denver, Colorado
Boise, Idaho, I love it every time that I go
In 1492, he sailed the ocean blue, but next week I'll see Columbus in Ohio
Grab a little sunshine in Tallahassee, Florida
Take a bite out a peach in Atlanta, Georgia
I've never been to Carson City, in Nevada, or Lincoln, Nebraska
You can catch me in Phoenix, Arizona, or Sacramento, California, yeah

St. Paul, Minnesota, maybe, Juneau, Alaska, yeah

I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah
Places I've never been, yeah
Going on tour without a care
I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah

Places I've never been, yeah
Going on a tour, tour, tour

Boston, Massachusetts; Concord, New Hampshire
Going to Vermont for Montpelier
Montgomery, Alabama, then Washington D.C., to see the nation's capital
Aloha to Honolulu, Hawaii
Des Moines, Iowa, so peaceful to me
Going to Springfield, Illinois, to build a little house on a prairie
In Little Rock, Arkansas, I love what I saw
Going back to Dover, Delaware, ‘cause I want more
Indianapolis, Indiana, and Hartford, Connecticut, need an encore
Smelling pine trees in Augusta, Maine
I like Topeka, Kansas, I'm glad that I came
But I've never been to Salt Lake City, in the Utah, or Richmond, Virginia
Going to see Bismarck, North Dakota, and Charleston, West Virginia, yeah
Annapolis, Maryland, maybe Lansing, Michigan, yeah
Helena, Montana; Columbia, South Carolina
Got to go to Pierre, South Dakota, yeah, follow if you wanna
I'll be eating a banana in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Schedule that on my planner
Friends say I gotta come sooner to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
So I guess I'm gonna
But first I'm going to Cheyenne, Wyoming, then party in Raleigh, North Carolina
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, can't think of a rhyme for Pennsylvania

So I'm skipping to Salem, Oregon, then Austin, Texas
And then maybe Albany, New York, for breakfast
Providence, Rhode Island, was a blast, and, Olympia, Washington, was just the best-est

I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah
Places I've never been, yeah
Going on tour without a care
I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah
Places I've never been, yeah
Going on a tour, tour, tour
I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah
Places I've never been, yeah
Going on tour without a care
I want to take a little trip somewhere, yeah
Places I've never been, yeah
Going on a tour, tour, tour
