Take Me
Lari White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forty miles outside of Houston city limits
Eldorado with a full tank of gas in it
It'll take us where it thinks we need to go
All we got to do is keep it in the middle of the road

Take me up to Wichita
Hold me in Niagara Falls
Rock me in Memphis
Kiss me down in New Orleans
Marry me in the keys
Don't care where we go
As long as you take me

Baby, make a left on exit 98
My sister told me that the etoufee is great
Oh, we could split a cold one to wash it down
Watch the sunset on the face of a sleepy little town
Then

Take me up to Wichita
Hold me in Niagara Falls
Rock me in Memphis
Kiss me down in New Orleans
Marry me in the keys
Don't care where we go
As long as you take me

Ninety miles per hour
One kiss every minute
It's my favorite car
As long as you're in it

Kiss me down in New Orleans
Marry me in the Keys
I don't care where we go




I don't care where we go
As long as you take me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lari White's song "Take Me" describe a couple's desire to travel together and experience different destinations. The first verse sets the scene: they have a full tank of gas and are ready to hit the road. "All we got to do is keep it in the middle of the road" implies that the couple is not too concerned with the exact route they take or the specific destinations they visit - they just want to be together and see where the road takes them.


The chorus is a series of romantic and iconic locations that the couple could visit together: Wichita, Niagara Falls, Memphis, and New Orleans. Each location is associated with a different type of romantic experience, from holding each other close in Niagara Falls to kissing passionately in New Orleans. The phrase "Marry me in the Keys" is particularly evocative, suggesting that the couple is so in love and devoted to each other that they could get married anywhere and it wouldn't matter - as long as they're together.


The final verse picks up where the first verse left off, with the couple driving fast and kissing frequently. The car they're in becomes a symbol for their relationship, with the singer saying "It's my favorite car / As long as you're in it." Ultimately, the song is about the enduring power of love and the joy of exploring new places with someone you care about deeply.

Lari told someone to pronounce her name like "Starry Night". I thought that was a perfect way to describe her, she'll be with us as long as we keep playing her music. RIP.
