From the recording As Far As I Know
Lyrics
Across the USA
Drew James © 2001
You know I feel so different this morning
There’s something special today
My mind’s clear like never before
My thoughts are so far away
Unemployment and sunshine
Go together so well
I’m in the mood for a road trip
I need some stories to tell
(Chorus)
With a few cans of Spam and a sleeping bag
I’ll be on my way
Across the USA
Across the USA
I’ve never been way out in Las Vegas
I ain’t been down to New Orleans
I’ve lived my whole life here in Toledo
Its time I lived out my dreams
Can’t tell Esther I’m going
She just won’t understand
I left the car by the creekside
I’ve got it carefully planned
With my new moustache and some wraparound shades
I will make my way
Across the USA
(Bridge)
A few misleading clues on the table
A little hair of the dog
A trace of blood in the stable
Its as easy as fallin’ off a log
(Repeat first verse/ chorus)
I will make my way
Across the USA
Across the USA
Across the USA
