Musical Monday #40 - Destination Anywhere

OK, I am a Big Fat Liar. We know this. So while writing that previous post, music a-blaring, a track I love came on.

Jon Bon Jovi - Destination Anywhere is a song I happen to really like - not because of the lyrics, I just love the song. I think I mentioned that strangeness before, that I like songs regardless of what they are singing about. Yes, I am a slightly off-kilter Big Fat Liar.

Sue me.

Of course, looking at the lyrics, it's a guy trying to get his girlfriend to run away with him. Go Jon. I don't know, maybe it'll be me one day, but at this moment in my life, I'm at a place where I can end up doing anything I want really. Destination Anywhere indeed.

Hey Babe, it's me parked outside your house
I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now
Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams
I'm getting out
You know we both sold our souls
We're just growing old, in this sleepy, dead-end town

Destination Anywhere
Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag a we're out of here - let's run

Baby, we both been running uphill for too long
We both settled for something, got nothing
And we both know it's wrong
Go on admit it we lived it, I'm leaving -
Get your boots and come on
I got my coat and my keys, I need you next to me, then I'm gone

Destination Anywhere
Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag a we're out of here - let's run
Destination Anywhere
Left of right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear like the sun

When these wheels spin, they can all eat our dust
As far as I'm concerned, this whole town's lost
It's nuts
We won't be here when they put us down
It's our big chance and I'm calling you now
They'll never let us go unless we try
I'm tired of living just to die
We're getting out of here, destination anywhere

Destination Anywhere
Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag a we're out of here - let's run
Destination Anywhere
Left of right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear like the sun, come on, come on, come on
