A Place With No Name
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)

Overall Meaning

In Jackson's song A Place with No Name, the singer finds himself driving on a highway when his jeep suddenly gets a flat tire. As he gets out of the car and tries to fix the tire, he notices a strange feeling like a mist. After walking down the road, he encounters a woman who appears through the fog. The woman takes him to a place without a name, where there is no pain but only love and happiness, and where people are playing and laughing without any fears. Throughout the song, the singer highlights his enchantment with this place and the bond he develops with the woman who took him there.


The song seems to be about escapism and the allure of a better place. It can be interpreted as a reflection of Jackson's quest for a peaceful and stress-free life, which he failed to achieve in reality due to various challenges and controversies. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is torn between his life in the real world, as depicted in his wallet pictures of his family and girlfriend, and his newfound comfort in the place without a name.


Overall, the song is a reminder of Jackson's unique ability to craft stories and incorporate them into his lyrical and sonic art.

Such a talented gifted man he was...
What have they done to him...
Such a shame really...
What a treasure this country had...
It's unbelievable...
Just imagine what he would have created in the next years...
That's tragic...
No words...
