Ancient footprints are everywhere.

You could almost think that your seeing double,
E a
On the cold, dark night on the spanish stairs.

Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room,

Where i got me a date with a pretty little girl from greece.

Oh, the hours we spent, inside the coliseum.
E a
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time,
D a d a
Oh those mighty kings of the jungle, i could hardly stand to see'em
E a
Yes it sure has been a long, hard drive.

Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory,
E a d
When i ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese,

Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody

Everyone was there to greet me when i stepped inside,
E a
Newspaper men eating candy,
E a d
Had to be held down by big police.
A d a e a
Someday, its gonna be different, when i paint my masterpiece.
