Standing in a doorway counting taxis 
Waitin' for a ride to Disneyland 
I'm gettin' just a little tired of Portland 
Stayed a little longer than I planned

Waving at the ladies in their caddies 
Showing off to girls who look away 
My thumb is turning blue and I'm hungry 
Dreaming of a ride straight to L.A.

I've seen most of the country 
From the side of the road 
I'm getting from here to nowhere 
In no time 
And I don't believe I'll ever make it home

It's been rainin' since I started out this morning 
Dirty streets and hookers waved goodbye 
I'd be lyin' if I said I'm sorry leavin' 
I'd be leavin' if I could only get a ride

And I've seen most of the country 
From the side of the road 
I'm getting from here to nowhere 
In no time 
And I don't believe I'll ever make it home 
I don't believe I'll ever make it...

I've been standing in doorways counting taxis 
Waitin' for a ride to Disneyland 
I'm gettin' just a little tired of Portland 
Stayed a little longer than I planned

And I've seen most of the country 
From the side of the road 
I'm getting from here to nowhere 
In no time 
And I'm goin' home

And I've seen most of the country 
From the side of the road 
I'm getting from here to nowhere 
In no time 
And I don't believe I'll ever make it 
Don't believe I'll ever make it
