I headed west to California
But got stuck in Tennessee
Got so high in West Virginia
Dreaming of the Florida Keys
Saw the big skies of Montana
And the stars of Michigan
I lost a fortune in Nevada
And my faith in Washington
I threw away the only map I ever had
And I lost myself again
I got myself in such a sorry state that I
Don't even know what state I'm in
I got lucky in Kentucky
Wound up in Idaho
I went missing in Missouri
Found me in New Mexico
I threw away the only map I ever had
And I lost myself again
I got myself in such a sorry state that I
Don't even know what state I'm in
I've been shown some Northern etiquette
Who read the New York Times
I saw a photo of Alaska
In a hotel in Nebraska
And all the while I had Georgia On My Mind
Ran out of gas in Indiana
So I hitched a ride to Texas
I found some Southern Comfort in Louisiana
And now I know I'm not in Kansas anymore
I threw away the only map I ever had
And I lost myself again
I got myself in such a sorry state that I
Don't even know what state I'm in
Don't even know what state I'm in
Don't even know what state I'm in
