lyrics

I don't want a girlfriend, but I need a girlfriend tonight.
I'd tell her, “Hey girl, let's go travel the world!”
but I still can't afford the flight.
I've got a '95 Camry, a few bottled waters,
a guitar, and a head full of songs.
We could just drive it South 'til the wheels come off,
or the check engine light comes on.

I hear the water's warm in Nicaragua,
And the girls are dark and curvy in Brazil,
but I'll probably just end up in Jalama,
in a cabin made of driftwood in the hills.

Singing along with Guy, and with John, Todd, Kris, and Jerry Jeff,
One needle dancing around eighty-five, and the other one sitting on 'F'
101 South, hand riding the wind, I say, “This is the meaning of free!”
Then one needle dies on the zero, with the other one sitting on 'E'

I hear the water's warm in Nicaragua,
And the girls are dark and curvy in Brazil,
but I'll probably just end up in Jalama,
in a cabin made of driftwood in the hills.

When we played pretend,
it was so open-ended and fun.
We'd build rocket ships from refrigerator boxes,
and race them away from the sun.
Now I'm back in a box, it's not made of cardboard,
but it will be when I'm on the streets
playing this here guitar by an old sharpie sign
that says “Will Play For Something To Eat”

I hear the water's warm in Nicaragua,
And the girls are dark and curvy in Brazil,
but I'll probably just end up in Jalama,
in a cabin made of driftwood in the hills.
