I've been all around the world
In nearly every city
London, Paris, Amsterdam and Tokyo
I've stood inside the Berlin Wall
I've seen the Eiffel Tower
One rainy night in Montreal
I shouted Rock 'N' Roll
I saw a monkey steal the show
Way down in Mexico
But the Southbound Ryan
It takes me home
The Southbound Ryan, I love that road

People always ask me why
I still live in this city
Seems half the population
Took the bus to Hollywood
I just smile at them
And say baby I like the weather
Maybe it's courage
Maybe it's fear
Hell, all my friends are here
This town is a habit
I can't break
The city on the make
The Southbound Ryan
Damn that road
Southbound Ryan
Take me home

Southbound Ryan
Damn that road
Southbound Ryan
I love that road
