Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Rock-n-roll's alive 'cause we got the power, baby
Cruisin' down the highway at five-hundred miles an hour, baby
We got a fuel-injected tour bus, man, it really flies
With a videotape deck inside
Let's go, rock-n-roll, everybody come on
Let's go, rock-n-roll, everybody come on now
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
American girls knock me out, you know
Fast cars, cold beer, and rock-n-roll
America is the only home I know
I know, I know, I know
[Verse 7]
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 500 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
When it's in your blood, it's in your blood
[Verse 8]
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
Now touring, touring all around the
Touring, touring all around the
Touring, touring all around the
Touring, touring all around the world
