lyrics

Well, I camped out with the Boy Scouts in the 1990s
And I hitchhiked in Ireland, and also in Hawaii
And you know I met some weirdos, but nothing really bad
I've been lucky on the road, and I'm glad

'Cause you hear the urban legends, and also firsthand stories
It's not hard to find horror in the public lavatories
Or those guys you see begging but never talk to,
Except to say "Sorry, I've got nothing for you"

Yeah, we've all got our cross to bear Me, I'm no exception
I'm desperate when I can't get good wireless reception
So I can follow up on some gig that's gonna pay
Before they kick me out of this cafe

And if I get sleepy, I'll stop and take a nap
And if I feel shaky, I'll make a turkey wrap
And if every hand's against me and times are truly hard
I might default on my credit card

But yes, I'm traveling far from home today
And yes, I'm lonely, my love so far away
And even we troubadours who eat with golden spoons
Appreciate you listening to our tunes

'Cause sometimes I sleep in a hotel with a spa,
And sometimes I sleep in a vacant parking lot
And sometimes my greatest burden is that I get to choose
Where and when and how to pay my dues

'Cause I camped out with the Boy Scouts in the 1990s
And I hitchhiked in Ireland, and also in Hawai'i
On scholarship both times, or did I mention that?

Please be generous when I pass the hat
