Happy Anywhere
Blake Shelton feat. Gwen Stefani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've always been a rolling stone
With a reckless streak
Yeah, the grass never gets too grown
Underneath my feet
The city lights, southern stars
No such thing as gone too far

I'm running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any map dot location
You're always my destination
You're the only thing that I'm chained to
I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with you

Yeah, the beauty of the Northern Lights
And my mind is faded
The blue sky over Telluride
Next to you's kinda overrated
The winding road, let it twist
My home's wherever your heart is

I'm running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any map dot location
You're always my destination
You're the only thing that I'm chained to
I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with you
(Hey)
(Hey)

So girl, I hope you know
Wherever you go, I go, I know

I'm running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any map dot location
You're always my destination
You're the only thing that I'm chained to
I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with you
I could be happy anywhere with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Happy Anywhere" by Blake Shelton (feat. Gwen Stefani) are all about finding true happiness with someone special, regardless of where you are in the world. The first verse speaks to the singer's past as a "rolling stone" with a "reckless streak," always on the move and never settling down. However, since meeting the person they're singing to, they've discovered that they could be happy anywhere just as long as they're together.


The chorus reaffirms this sentiment, with the singer declaring that their partner is the only person they're "chained to," and that any place they could be with their partner would make them happy. The second verse uses the beautiful imagery of the Northern Lights and the blue sky over a small town in Colorado to illustrate that while there may be beautiful places in the world, they pale in comparison to being with their loved one.


Ultimately, this song is a sweet love letter to the idea that true happiness comes from the people we share our lives with, rather than the places we go or the things we do.

City lights, southern stars...

@chidrummer1

This is what America and everywhere needs more of. 2 people who truly respect and love each other. It shows every second.

@IDSTARTAREVOLUTION2

2 people who come from very different worlds I might add.

@tammyrizza9962

I agree. You can plainly see, how happy they are together. It's nice to see, that they are both very happy together. Blake and Miranda, was a good couple. But, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Sometimes it takes a couple of heartbreaks, to finally find true love. Tbh, I wasn't a Gwen fan when they first got together. But, now I believe they are perfect for each other...
