So we already wrecked the rental car

And I've already lost my way

My feet entombed in this tourist bar

For a day, anyway

The streets all built on ancient bones
Am C
And the crib of the ribs

So it's me and you and the baby boy

And a fourth to share the weight

We're eking out a little joy

From what awaits back in the States, aay
