We Agot off the plane in the cold, cold rain
Lost Etrack of the hour, lost track of the day
We were Dvery far away from anyBmwhere we'd been Ebefore
We Agot on a bus and we went to the city
Got Eoff at a stop because we liked the name
We were Din for an adventure
And that's Bmall we knew for Esure
And we Dwalked until we F#mcouldn't walk no Emore
Bm E(single strum)
Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door
Of an Aexpensive noisy bed
Where we could Erest our heavy heads
We Dslept away the rest of the day
And Bmwell into the Enight
And we Awoke up with a F#mhunger for Bmlife
Well before the Esun rised
We Adidn't have money to ride the underground
So we Ewalked the miles and miles of this town
When Dnight fell like a rock we realized
BmWe were never gonna find a Epatch of open Aground
And the rain was comin' Edown
And the trains were shuttin' Ddown
We were worn out, wet and Bmlost
There was no Eshelter to be Afound
A E Bm E A E A F#m(single strum)
D E
We Aspent over a week of our budget
On a Etaxi and a bed
And Dwe made plans at night to escape
This Bmexpensive Ewonderland
We would Aset out for the wild
We would Esee what was beyond
We would Dsleep above the soil
And we would Bmtravel by our Ethumbs
And Dwritten above my Ehostel bed
In Ablack marker it F#msaid
"There's a Dlight
And it Enever goes Aout"
We Adidn't have a clue what we were doin'
We Edidn't even know where we wanted to go
The next Dday we took the tube all the way
Out Bmto the end of the Eline
It Atook us five hours to find a place to stand
We Estuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands
It was Drainin' hard again
But Bmwe were not surEprised
DNo one wants to F#mpick you up
EWhen you're soakin' wet
It was Bmhard not havin' Dsecond thoughts
E(single strum)
About goin' on this trip
And we Date the rest of our Ahostel bread
Under a Ddark, damp Aunderpass
We Dwatched the cars go Apast
The Dsun was sinking Afast
But Dsalvation came at Alast
In a Dlittle blue hatchAback
And Ehe took us a few Dmiles down the Aroad
The Aday was almost over
It was Ehard not to give in
We had Dmade it outta the city
We were Bmthinkin' about givin' up and settin' Eup our tent
But a AJeep pulled over then
And he Etold us to get in
He Dsaid his name was Nick
Bm E(single strum)
Right away he felt just like a friend
And he Dtook us to some Eland
Where some Apeople live on Dbuses
InDvited us to Estay the night
And Awe could not refuse
We Dgot a bus of our Eown
And it Ahad a soft, warm bed
We Dbuilt a little Efire
And we Adried our soaking shoes
And we Bmslept, yeah we Eslept
Just like little Ababies
The Anext day at Stonehenge
We couldn't afEford to get in
We Dthought it would be free,
We were surBmprised to see the Efence
This Aday would set the theme
Of this Etrip for you and me
We could Dpay to see the sights of Europe
Or Bmwe could choose to Eeat
And we Dpressed on to an old F#mRoman city
And we Emade it before night
BmWe broke down and Dbought some fries
E(single strum)
Just so we could get dry
And Dcurse the Asky, Dcurse the Asky, Dcurse the Asky
It Erains all the Atime
We Afound a spot to pitch our tent
EIt was our first night in it
The Drain soaked in, the ground was cold
It Bmsank into my Ebones
And we Adecided that F#mit was way too Bmcold
To keep goin' the way Ewe had planned to go
And Athat night we agreed that Ewe would turn around
We'd Dhead for warmer ground, we'd start Bmmakin' our way Esouth
Oh you Dcan't get Elost if you've Agot no place to Dgo
You Dcan't take a wrong Eturn if you're Anot on your way Dhome
And we Bmrealized just how Dfree we Ereally Awere
