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
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 slept in the bed of fantasy
with my arms wrapped around a disease
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... /etc./

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 V.I.P.
broken bread in some celebrity homes
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... /etc./
