Lyrics
Upstate New York was beautiful
I'm glad I got to spend that time with you
And packing up my things was easy
Onto destination two
Driving through the big greeen mountains
Almost as stunning as your smile
Come a little closer
Let me stay here for a while
We don't got much money
And time isn't our side
And I can always go back to work
But this view has no price, no price
Backpacking through Europe
Is something that I'd like to do
Yes, I'd walk from Portugal to Belarus
Just to be with you
Careening toward the setting sun
Before the day is through
Walking through the valley's shadows
Like I said I'd do
I said when you love a traveler
Then a traveler will love you, too
