Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Takes everything you′ve got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
And they′re always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name
You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows
Your name
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they′re always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows
Your name
You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows
