Been Around The World

Red-eye flight bound for JFK
It's the start of a whole new life today
Hit the Big Apple, eat American Pie
Empire State and the Broadway lights
Route 66 on a Greyhound bus
Midnight stop down in Las Vegas
Million dollars on a fruit machine
Hit the West Coast cities, try the West Coast Scene
Walk the hills of San Francisco
Ride on a street car named Desire
I must be California dreaming
Hey Jack Kerouac I still feel your fire

And I feel alive for the first time in my life
Open up my eyes for the first time in my life

Next New Zealand, bit like England
30 years ago but so much better
Bare back riding, bungy jumping
Whale watching and no shitty weather
Land in Sydney pretty much broke
Get a part time job in the back of bourke
Cross the Harbour Bridge every single day
Past the Opera House and Circular Quay
Waltzing Matilda out in the outback
Ularu, Kakadu, Botany Bay
Barrier Reef and Coober Pedy
Palm Beach real life Home And Away

And I feel alive for the first time in my life
Yeah I feel alive for the first time in my life

New York, Vegas, San Francisco
Auckland, Ayers Rock, Bali, Bangkok
New York, Vegas, San Francisco
Auckland, Ayers Rock, Bali, Bangkok

(Been around the world)
Lost on the trail in South East Asia
(Been around the world)
Beach bum lifestyle, fuck you malaria
(Been around the world)
Seeing things fresh yeah, open my chakra
(Been around the world)
Bali, Singapore, Jogjakarta
(Been around the world)
Koh Pha Ngan man, island hopping
(Been around the world)
On a night train to Bangkok
Only stopping for the best

(Been around the world)
And I feel alive for the first time in my life
(Been around the world)
Open up my eyes up for the first time in my life

(Been around the world)
New York, Vegas, San Francisco
(Been around the world)
Auckland, Ayers Rock, Bali, Bangkok
