I drove out to the middle of nowhere in the deepest dark of night
Pulled out my suitcase and started to fill it with things that were not mine
I then drove across this great nation hoping to find the bright lights
But all I found was the desert and ghost towns
They'll probably haunt me for life
I've been a lot of places
I've been so many places
And there's no place like you
I've slept in the bed of fantasy with my arms wrapped around a discease
That looked so beautiful to my greedy eyes, I hardly noticed it was killing me
I then sat with my doctor for hours hoping she'd give me a cure
Because no matter what I said or did I just couldn't do anything pure
I've been a lot of places
I've been so many places
And there's no place like you
I once sailed across the farthest ocean looking for a clue
Trying to find the differences between stereotypes and the truth
I've been on the A-list, arrived VIP, broken bread in some celebrity homes
But the fact remains that we're all the same
Take too big a bite, you're going to choke
I've been a lot of places
I've been so many places
And there's no place like you
