A Place With No Name (Original Version)
A Place With No Name (Original Version)

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

I 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

Woah-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 seen a beautiful city appear

Where kids are playin’ and people are laughin’ and smiling and

Nothing to 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 they started cryin’

Grabbed my hand, you’ve got a friend

Woah-oh

Take me to a place without no name (no name)

Take me to a place without no name (A place without no name)

Take me to a place without no name

Take me to a place without no name

Woah-oh

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 and things I’ve never done

This really looks like a lotta fun

I seen the grass and the skies and the birds

And the flowers surrounded by the trees

This place is filled with love and happiness

Why 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

Woah-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

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
