We got off the plane in the cold, cold rain   Lost track of the hour, lost track of the day   We were very far away from anywhere we'd been before      We got on a bus and we went to the city   Got off at a stop because we liked the name   We were in for an adventure   And that's all we knew for sure      And we walked until we couldn't walk no more   Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door   Of an expensive noisy bed   Where we could rest our heavy heads      We slept away the rest of the day   And well into the night   And we woke up with a hunger for life   Well before the sun rised      We didn't have money to ride the underground   So we walked the miles and miles of this town   When night fell like a rock we realized    We were never gonna find a patch of open ground      And the rain was comin' down   And the trains were shuttin' down   We were worn out, wet and lost    There was no shelter to be found      We spent over a week of our budget   On a taxi and a bed   And we made plans at night to escape   This expensive wonderland      We would set out for the wild   We would see what was beyond   We would sleep above the soil    And we would travel by our thumbs      And written above my hostel bed   In black marker it said   "There's a light   And it never goes out"      We didn't have a clue what we were doin'   We didn't even know where we wanted to go   The next day we took the tube all the way   Out to the end of the line      It took us five hours to find a place to stand   We stuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands   It was rainin' hard again    But we were not surprised      No one wants to pick you up   When you're soakin' wet   It was hard not havin' second thoughts   About goin' on this trip      And we ate the rest of our hostel bread   Under a dark, damp underpass   We watched the cars go past   The sun was sinking fast      But salvation came at last   In a little blue hatchback    And he took us a few miles down the road      The day was almost over   It was hard not to give in   We had made it outta the city   We were thinkin' about givin' up and settin' up our tent      But a Jeep pulled over then   And he told us to get in   He said his name was Nick    Right away he felt just like a friend      And he took us to some land   Where some people live on buses   Invited us to stay the night   And we could not refuse      We got a bus of our own    And it had a soft, warm bed   We built a little fire   And we dried our soaking shoes      And we slept, yeah we slept   Just like little babies      The next day at Stonehenge    We couldn't afford to get in   We thought it would be free,    We were surprised to see the fence      This day would set the theme   Of this trip for you and me   We could pay to see the sights of Europe   Or we could choose to eat      And we pressed on to an old Roman city   And we made it before night   We broke down and bought some fries   Just so we could get dry       And curse the sky, curse the sky, curse the sky   It rains all the time      We found a spot to pitch our tent   It was our first night in it    The rain soaked in, the ground was cold   It sank into my bones      And we decided that it was way too cold   To keep goin' the way we had planned to go   And that night we agreed that we would turn around   We'd head for warmer ground, we'd start makin' our way south      Oh you can't get lost if you've got no place to go   You can't take a wrong turn if you're not on your way home   And we realized just how free we really were
