A Place with No Name
Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I drove across on the highway
My jeep began to rock
I didn't know what to do so I stopped and got out
And looked down and noticed I got a flat

So I walked out, parked the car like sideways
So I can find what I can fix
I looked around there were no cars on the highway
I felt a strange feeling like a mist

I walked down towards the end of the road
And in the fog a woman appeared
She said don't you worry my friend I'll take care
Take my hand, I'll take you there

Oh
Take me to a place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
Take me to a place without no name

As she took me right through the fog
I see a beautiful city appear
Where kids are playin' and people are laughin' and smiling and
Nothing to fear fear

She said this is the place where no people have pain
With love and happiness
She turned around looked down at my eyes and started cryin'
She grabbed my hand, you got a friend

Oh
Take me to a place without no name
Yeah

She started likin' me kissin' me and huggin' me
She didn't really, really want me to leave
She showed me places I've never seen things I've never done
This really looks like a lotta fun

I seen the grass and the sky and the birds
And the flowers surrounded by the trees
This place is filled with love and happiness
How in the world could I wanna leave

So then I went in my pocket took my wallet on out
With my pictures of my family and girl
This is the place that you choose to be with me
When you thought you could be in another world

Oh
Take me to a place without no name
La la la
A place without no name
La la la

A place without no name (La, la, la)

Even though I thought of being in a different place, this place is where I should be


A place without no name
A place that has no name


Take me to a place without no name
Take me to an unnamed place


La la la
The sound expressing joy and pleasure

Where kids are playin' and people are laughin' and smiling and
Nothing to fear

And the flowers surrounded by the trees

How in the world could I wanna leave

Oh

Da la la la
A place without no name
La la la la

This song sounds like a 2019 song. This should be on the radio again

@IllDawgable

I know right?

@PrinceJes

It was reworked in 2014, the original probably had some old style.

@Calebrobertson22

Massa it’s does actually. It’s on YouTube. The original is a more of a country pop style
