Just heard that Wendy got a grant for her
Research with sub-saharan rain water
Supposed to help a lot of poor people

I knew that she could save the world

Meanwhile, back in Chatanooga I was

so tired of being such a loser
My ma said that it would be romantic
If I could go and get the girl.


All the way to casablanca, then I headed east.
I parked my car in Khartoum 'cause I aint scared of Sudanese

She said "meet me in angola" ..the belly of the beast. Theres lots of trees in the forest and she can't hold up every branch that bends in the breeze

In Huambo I finally got a phone call

She's off with catholics in the congo
She swears she'll see me in Harare
I'm there before I catch a breath


A taxi right beside the airport
Took me to a bar in Glen Norah

A rasta smoked a little hash with me
Nice guy but he scared me half to death


All the way to Ouagadougou the summer of the storm
These guys grew up in Upper Volta, changed the name of the day that I was born Burkina Faso tourists come and bring the peace
Lots of trees in the forest and she can't hold up every branch that bends in the breeze..


Took a bus to Takoradi, took a boat to Conakry
Oh lord the west sahara desert felt like the sun was comin' after me

Oh my my morroccan goddess
I'm fallin to my knees.
Lots of trees in the forest and she can't hold up every branch that bends in the breeze..
