I've been all around the world In nearly every city London, Paris, Amsterdam and Tokyo I've stood inside the Berlin Wall I've seen the Eiffel Tower One rainy night in Montreal I shouted Rock 'N' Roll I saw a monkey steal the show Way down in Mexico But the Southbound Ryan It takes me home The Southbound Ryan, I love that road
People always ask me why I still live in this city Seems half the population Took the bus to Hollywood I just smile at them And say baby I like the weather Maybe it's courage Maybe it's fear Hell, all my friends are here This town is a habit I can't break The city on the make The Southbound Ryan Damn that road Southbound Ryan Take me home
Southbound Ryan Damn that road Southbound Ryan I love that road
