lyrics

Chorus: Not all who wander are lost; not all who wander are lost

Not all who wander are lost; but I am.


I’ve got my maps, my phone, the camper… I’m certified self-contained

I even have a sense of where I’m going in this endlessly pouring rain

I can camp for free just up ahead, if I can determine the location

But driving on the left with the wheel on the right is stressing my vacation (chorus)


I should have sprung for the WIFI deal, my phone is like a brick

This switchback road through the divide is about to make me sick

It sounded like a good idea to drive all the way around the islands

A topographic map would’ve shown the challenge of the highlands
(chorus)


Bridge: It’s probably time to take a full length look into the mirror

And contemplate why my destination’s not getting any nearer

If my wench is there on my GPS I surely do not hear her

Each kilometer the price of my confusion becomes dearer

(chorus)

If I hate driving back at home, what made me think I’d like it here?

Right now I’d gladly pay a driver, kick back, enjoy a beer

I’d relax with someone else behind the wheel, at least I so conjecture…

It will be money well spent when again it’s time to plan my next adventure (chorus; end)
