Touring

Ramones · Mania Vol. 2 [1999]

Well, we've been to London and we've been to L.A.

Spain, New Zealand, and the U.S.A.

Europe, Japan, and Pango-Pango

Canada, Siam, Oz and Kamoto

The kids all come from miles around

The party gets started when the sun goes down

A Holiday Inn's the only home

I know, I know, I know, I know

Rock-n-roll's alive 'cause we got the power baby

Crusing down the highway at 500 miles an hour baby

We got a fuel-injected tour bus, man it really flies

With a video tape deck inside



Let's go, rock-n-roll, everybody c'mon

Let's go, rock-n-roll, everybody c'mon now



Touring, touring, is never boring

Touring, touring, is never boring

Touring, touring, is never boring

Touring, touring, oh baby, touring

Especially with your favorite girl

Touring, touring, all around the world



Well we've been around this great big world

And we've met all kinds of guys and girls

From Kamoto Islands to Rockaway Beach

No, it's not hard, not far to reach



American girls knock me out, ya know

Fast cars, cold beer, and rock-n-roll

America is the only home

I know, I know, I know, I know



Let's go let's go let's go let's go 500 miles to Mexico

Let's go let's go let's go let's go 200 miles to Tokyo

Let's go let's go let's go let's go



Drive, drive, drive the night away

Straight on through to the break of day

Drive, drive, drive the night away

Well, it's in your blood, it's in your blood



Touring, touring...

Touring touring, all around the world

Touring touring, all around the world

Touring touring, all around the world
