Gerry Rafferty - The Tourist lyrics

Yes it's back on the road again

I just got me some new-found friends

And it's alright, yeah it's alright.

Flew away at the speed of sound

I threw up when we touched down

But I'm alright, I'll be alright.

New York's bakin' in the sun

Got the news it just made number one

Here we go for one more memory

Way back here in the twentieth century.

That night in Amsterdam

You saw me for what I am

And you found out, yeah you found me out.

And I knew what I saw in you

And I still can't believe it's true

But I'll find out, I'm gonna find out.

Meanwhile back down on Fifth Avenue

Raphael just bought some brand new shoes

Me, I'm wiped out, I'm dead on my feet

Come a long long way from Baker Street.

I'm watchin' a night come down

And we're headin' for one more town

But it's alright, yeah it's alright.

Who cares what the night might bring

Cause we're ready for anything

So it's alright, yeah it's alright.

Heading' out across the U.S.A.

California's still a long long way

Here we go for one more memory

Way back here in the twentieth century.
