No Particular Place To Go
Mafia 2 OST / Chuck Berry 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 runnin' wild
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
Ridin' 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 the Kokomo
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
Ridin' along in my calaboose
Still tryna get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
Chuck Berry's song "No Particular Place To Go" is a classic ode to young love and teenage adventure. The song is driven by a catchy and upbeat rhythm, reminiscent of the early days of rock and roll. The lyrics describe the excitement and spontaneity of cruising around in a car with a special someone, with no particular destination in mind.
In the first verse, the singer and his love interest are cruisin' around in the car and he can't resist stealing a kiss from her. He expresses his eagerness to spend time with her and share his feelings. In the second verse, they decide to take a walk together, enjoying the moonlit night and each other's company. But then things take a comical turn when the singer encounters difficulty unfastening his date's safety belt, leading to frustration and disappointment.
The final verse of the song returns to the cruising theme, with the singer driving his love interest home but feeling grumpy due to their failed attempt at getting closer physically. The song ends on a playful, upbeat note, with the two continuing to enjoy each other's company regardless of the setbacks they encountered.

Ridin' along in my automobile
I'm driving in my car
My baby beside me at the wheel
My girlfriend is in the passenger seat
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
I kissed her while driving
My curiosity runnin' wild
I'm feeling excited
Crusin' and playin' the radio
I'm driving around and listening to music
With no particular place to go
I have no specific destination in mind
I's anxious to tell her the way I feel
I'm eager to share my feelings with her
So I told her softly and sincere
I expressed myself honestly and genuinely
And she leaned and whispered in my ear
She whispered a response to me
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow
We're getting close and driving slowly
No particular place to go
We don't have a destination
So we parked way out on the Kokomo
We parked in a secluded area
The night was young and the moon was gold
It was a beautiful night
So we both decided to take a stroll
We went for a walk
Can you image the way I felt
My emotions were overwhelming
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt
I was struggling to remove her seatbelt
Ridin' along in my calaboose
I'm driving in my car
Still tryna get her belt a-loose
I'm still struggling with the seatbelt
All the way home I held a grudge
I was upset about the seatbelt situation
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Because the seatbelt wouldn't come off
Crusin' and playin' the radio
I'm still driving around listening to music
With no particular place to go
I'm still without a specific destination

I love the game and Chuck Berry, but this song wasn't even released until 1964 and the game's storyline ends in 1951 lol
@thebossmac
+Barley Mob Well i guess that they can't have everything in the right time line.
