about

All my traveling on Google Earth has made me curious about certain obscure towns in America.

lyrics

I've been on my fair share of virtual road trips,
And I've found many a curious small town
Just like Mount Airy where Andy Griffith grew up
You can see the signs of his show all around
(Find it in North Carolina)
A man stands on a street corner in Winslow, Arizona
Just like in the Eagles' classic song
(Where's the woman in the Ford truck?)
The folks in Ashland, Oregon, are crazy for Shakespeare
Life is a stage, and we all must play along

CHORUS:
Some may think I'm nuts, some may hate my guts,
(All they see is)
And look at me like I eat my frozen yogurt with a fork
(One crazy guy)
But if it's not well-known, I want to see the zone
(It's inspiring)
And keep on thinking nothing about New York

A sign in Bishop, California, marks the beginning
Of the long and lonely road to Provincetown
(Far away in Massachusetts)
The first JC Penney is in Diamondville, Wyoming,
A state where the population is down
(At least that's what I have been told)
Seventy-six trombones lead the big parade in Mason City, Iowa,
The town that Meredith Wilson called his own
(Where is Gary, Indiana?)
And if you're looking for Frisco, go to Colorado or Texas,
Not California's foggy coastal zone

CHORUS

Lucy and Ricky bought a house in Westport, Connecticut,
Mainly for the benefit of their son
I think of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico,
And wonder if lying is ever done
Mitchell, South Dakota, has a palace made of corn
Maybe someday I will have a look
One Pennsylvania town has a rather risque name,
And they have heard every dirty joke in the book
Now I know my interest in such places may seem strange,
Mainly because I haven't even seen one of them, but that may change!
