This song catalogues some of the places I travelled with my previous day job, working with people all around the globe. Visiting all those places was great, but I was always happy to get home!
lyrics
I've worn a shirt and tie in Shanghai, in Mumbai and in Dubai.
On the southern coast of Norway and several states of the USA.
I've been all o'er the world, but where I love to be
Is here with you, with me.
I've been a hi-tech, low-budget wild rover
Who flies the skies the world over
From the concrete of Houston
To a farmyard in Hannover.
Oh the Indian Ocean is so sweet,
And those small towns in the south of France are hard to beat.
But you're the one who sweeps me off my feet.
I've walked the streets of Norfolk and New Orleans,
Met the greatest people that I've ever seen,
Here and now is the best place that I've been.
Hopped aboard a speedboat on the Dutch coast
Rode the fastest train in China but I can't boast.
Here in your arms is where I love the most.
Nearly melted in the Abu-Dhabi midday sun,
Couldn't believe the Texas foodstore selling guns.
Seen so many but I still know that you're the one.
