No Place Like You
Maddie & Tae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

California cherry cola, sandy skies in Arizona
Smoky mountain blowin' through Tennessee
Oklahoma sweet magnolia, Kansas over my right shoulder
Bending strings down in New Orleans

Everywhere I go, I see your smile
I wish I could see yours once in a while
The sun comes up and it sinks back down
On every five-star dream in every two-star town
There's a lot to see from a wishing view
But sometimes, I wish I could close my eyes and click my shoes
'Cause there's no place like you
No place like you
No place like you

Killing time in Texarkana, rolling tide in Alabama
The closer that I get, you're still too far
So half a dozen tanks of gas, fighting traffic getting back
I'd trade a first-class seat in for your arms

The sun comes up and it sinks back down
On every five-star dream in every two-star town
There's a lot to see from a wishing view
But sometimes, I wish I could close my eyes and click my shoes
'Cause there's no place like you
No place like you
No place like you

Everywhere I go, I see your smile
I wish I could see yours once in a while

The sun comes up and it sinks back down
On every five-star dream in every two-star town
There's a lot to see from a wishing view
But sometimes, I wish I could close my eyes and click my shoes
'Cause there's no place like you
No place like you
No place like you

Yeah, there's no place like you




No place like you
No place like you
