[Intro] [acoustic guitar, easy road-trip shuffle] [Verse 1] We skipped the freeway, took the road less known That's just what we do, Team Krug out on our own The Captain's got the wheel, I've got the Someday List Every roadside wonder that I can't dare to miss Somewhere past Jamestown, North Dakota wide and free I spotted twenty tons of something calling out to me [Pre-Chorus] Was it a buffalo? Was it a bison? Honey does it matter when you're smilin'? You didn't expect me to miss the World's Largest Buffalo, did you? [Chorus] Buffalo or bison, what's the difference anyway? When you're standing next to something that'll make your whole day Pull over, pull over, honey pull this car over right now I've been collecting giants and I've already made this vow Take the road less traveled Stop for every sign 'Cause buffalo or bison baby, everything is mine [harmonies] everything is fine [Verse 2] There's Otto the World's Largest Otter in Fergus Falls I scared the Captain grabbing his arm, don't do that y'all A giant lobster in Islamorada called out to us there Whoa turn around there's a giant lobster, gotta get a pic I swear The Kelpies rose in Scotland biggest horses in the world A giant witch in Strabane had her broom unfurled I'm a sucker, I have always been a sucker For these giant tourist sculptures [Pre-Chorus] Are they kitschy? Are they legends? Who can even say? He rolls his eyes but he's already on the brakes 'Cause we both know which roads the best adventures take [Chorus] [Bridge] [drop to acoustic, tender] [Spoken] People ask me, Debbie, why do you stop for those silly old things? [Sung] In 1989 in Vining, Minnesota An average man came home from the factory one day Picked up a welder and some steel and his dreams And decided to leave the world a little bigger than it seems We carry people too, you know Alaska was for Don Krug, Kelly's dad who mined for gold Ireland was for Elwin Gray who left the shores of Cobh And somehow brought us all here down this road [Verse 3] Sixty-three parks and we're not even close to done There's always one more giant, always one more road, always one more sun The Captain maps it, the Navigator dreams And somewhere on a highway life is better than it seems [Chorus] Buffalo or bison, what's the difference anyway? It's twenty tons of something making someone's whole day Pull over, pull over, honey pull this car over right now I've been collecting giants, I am never breaking that vow Take the road less traveled Stop for every sign 'Cause buffalo or bison baby, everything is mine [harmonies] everything is fine [Outro] [acoustic fade] [Spoken] You know you've arrived at the Sacramento airport when you see the giant rabbit Worth it. Every. Single. Time.
