Oh won’t you be my tour guide,
Take me somewhere I don’t know,
This routine is killing me,
I’m ready to implode,
Please take me soon,
This day-to-day is getting old.
Oh won’t you be my tour guide,
Got to dust these walking shoes,
Been away for a while now,
They’re dying to be used,
They’re a little bit worn,
But will present as good as new.
Oh take me somewhere that I want to go,
To the hills of Mississippi maybe New Mexico.
Go to Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Ohio.
Oh take me somewhere that I want to go.
Oh wont you be my tour guide,
Won’t you take me by the hand,
Lead me through the river,
Lead me across the land,
Please take me somewhere that I will understand.
Oh won’t you be my tour guide,
Got to dust these walking shoes,
Been away for a while now,
They’re dying to be used,
They’re a little bit worn,
But will present as good as new.
Oh take me somewhere that I want to go,
Go to Oklahoma take a plane to Tokyo,
Go to New York City Eat-potato-Idaho,
Oh take me somewhere that I want to go.
Oh take me somewhere that I want to go.
Oh won’t you be my tour guide,
Take me to Alabama,
Take me to Claifornia,
I want to go to Colorado,
Take me to the cross-roads,
Oh won’t you be my Tour Guide
