The Tourist Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty
Album: Night Owl

Yes itâ‚¬â„¢s back on the road again
I just got me some new-found friends
And itâ‚¬â„¢s alright, yeah itâ‚¬â„¢s alright.

Flew away at the speed of sound
I threw up when we touched down
But Iâ‚¬â„¢m alright, Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be alright.

New Yorkâ‚¬â„¢s bakinâ‚¬â„¢ 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 canâ‚¬â„¢t believe itâ‚¬â„¢s true
But Iâ‚¬â„¢ll find out, Iâ‚¬â„¢m gonna find out.

Meanwhile back down on Fifth Avenue
Raphael just bought some brand new shoes
Me, Iâ‚¬â„¢m wiped out, Iâ‚¬â„¢m dead on my feet
Come a long long way from Baker Street.

Iâ‚¬â„¢m watchinâ‚¬â„¢ a night come down
And weâ‚¬â„¢re headinâ‚¬â„¢ for one more town
But itâ‚¬â„¢s alright, yeah itâ‚¬â„¢s alright.

Who cares what the night might bring
Cause weâ‚¬â„¢re ready for anything
So itâ‚¬â„¢s alright, yeah itâ‚¬â„¢s alright.

Headingâ‚¬â„¢ out across the U.S.A.
Californiaâ‚¬â„¢s still a long long way
Here we go for one more memory
Way back here in the twentieth century.
