E
Oh, how did you get to this town?

We can lay in the sun on the beach

Drive up the Oregon coast

Its rocky and lighthouses dot it for most of the way 
Through to Washington—Cascadian snow

We were on to the future, the final frontier 

C#m     
While in Hawaii they’re probably righteously 

                                B
Surfing the worlds greatest breaks

Respectable

That the sun never sets we’re just spinning around

Spun up to Kansas and clung to the ground 

E                               A
Slipped off the great plain to Southern Missouri 

E                            B
A creek and a sunset with no need to hurry 

E                         A
Just lazily drifting the great Mississippi

Through Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky
