I've had days in Manhattan; I've had days in Berlin.
I've lived through 'em all like they'd never been.
I've had days in LA, but I'm leaving again -
No angelical desert could keep me within.
But with her heart the size of Washington,
that's the one place I know...
Once I'm in Washington,
there'll be nowhere else to go.
Now I've daydreamt in London; I've seen castles in Spain.
I've had a fantasy in New Orleans that never knew my name.
I've seen the Holy Ghost in Ohio save an Israeli city man -
He said he was off to Elba, then back to Jerusalem
But with her heart the size of Washington,
that's the one place I know...
Once I'm in Washington,
there'll be nowhere else to go.
So have mercy baby, have mercy on my hard luck soul.
Let's go down to Starbucks and have a cup o' joe.
We don't need no money, all we need's your soul -
'cause it's shining baby, like Klondike gold.
And with your heart the size of Washington,
that's the one place I'll know...
Once I'm in in Washington,
there'll be nowhere else to go.
