No Particular Place To Go
George Thorogood and the Destroyers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity running wild
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
Riding along in my automobile
So I told her softly and sincere
And she leaned and whispered in my ear
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow
With no particular place to go
No particular place to go
So we parked way out on ko-ko-mo
The night was young and the moon was gold
So we both decided to take a stroll
Can you image the way I felt
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt
Riding along in my calaboose
Still trying to get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Crusin' and playing the radio
With no particular place to go

Riding along in my automobile
Driving in my car
My baby beside me at the wheel
My girlfriend is driving with me
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
I kissed her in the car while driving
My curiosity running wild
I'm excited and interested in what will happen next
Crusin' and playin' the radio
Driving and listening to music
With no particular place to go
Driving aimlessly, with no destination in mind
I's anxious to tell her the way I feel
I'm nervous but excited to express my feelings to her
So I told her softly and sincere
I spoke to her in a gentle, heartfelt manner
And she leaned and whispered in my ear
She moved closer and spoke quietly to me
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow
We are hugging and driving slowly

No particular place to go
Still driving aimlessly
So we parked way out on ko-ko-mo
We parked in a secluded area
The night was young and the moon was gold
It's still early and the moon is shining brightly
Can you image the way I felt
Can you imagine how I was feeling?
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt
I struggled to undo her seatbelt
Riding along in my calaboose
Still driving in my car
Still trying to get her belt a-loose
Still struggling to undo her seatbelt
All the way home I held a grudge
I was annoyed the entire drive home
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Because I couldn't undo her seatbelt
Crusin' and playing the radio
Still driving and listening to music
With no particular place to go
Still driving aimlessly
