Jet lag

I´m goin´ back to New York city
Times square sure will be shinin´ bright
I know it sure looks pretty
But I don´t go down every night.
I´m gonna take in Memphis
You know the one down in Tennessee
And if you wanna boogie
Now that´s the place to be.
Sittin´ in a bar in Macon
Drinkin´ something called Rebel Yells
When I thought I heard someone ringing
I guess she´s a southern bell.
We just cut out of El Paso
It just fries there in that desert sun
And if you´ve ever been down there man
Then you know why we run.
I got jet lag
And livin´ out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the U.S.A.
Tryin´ hard to make a phone call
"Long distance over seas"
"Yes ma´am I did say Scotland"
"Could you spell that again for me please"
You know that it just blew my mind
I´d love to go back there next trip
I sure hope we get some time.
Driving down a Detroit freeway
Just lookin´ at those concrete walls
Hey but it´s a good town to rock´n´roll in
"What do you mean the police closed the god damned hall?"
Flyin´ home tomorrow
To be there´s gonna be just great
And after some time with my lady
I´m gonna be back to rock´n´roll in the States.
Times square sure will be shinin´ bright
I know it sure looks pretty
But I don´t go down every night.
I´m gonna take in Memphis
You know the one down in Tennessee
And if you wanna boogie
Now that´s the place to be.
Sittin´ in a bar in Macon
Drinkin´ something called Rebel Yells
When I thought I heard someone ringing
I guess she´s a southern bell.
We just cut out of El Paso
It just fries there in that desert sun
And if you´ve ever been down there man
Then you know why we run.
I got jet lag
And livin´ out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the U.S.A.
Tryin´ hard to make a phone call
"Long distance over seas"
"Yes ma´am I did say Scotland"
"Could you spell that again for me please"
You know that it just blew my mind
I´d love to go back there next trip
I sure hope we get some time.

Hey but it´s a good town to rock´n´roll in
