Take Me Places

from Cry Till You Laugh by Terri Hendrix

/

about

The scatting on “New Orleans” and “Take Me Places” took me well over a month to learn correctly. We’d been doing these songs live for years, and they had each made it onto live albums, but we’d never really broken them down and studied them properly in order to master their complicated parts and really do them justice. Musically, these songs surpassed my expectations. I truly feel we went somewhere with this recording that we had never gone before. Just like the stages my music has taken me that I write about in my book. 

lyrics

These four walls
Are drivin’ me crazy
I’m goin’ nuts
Just hangin’ round
Come on baby
You’re lazy
Pack your bags
Blow this town

Take me to Mexico
Wake me up in Singapore
Maybe we could see Morocco
Take me where I’ve never been before

Come on baby
Don’t you be so boring
Let’s get away
Just pretend
Distant lands
Are givin’ us a callin’
I wanna show you Catmando

Take me to Mexico
Wake me up in Singapore
Maybe we could see Morocco
Take me where I’ve never been before

Think of you and me
Dinin’ in Paris
Strollin’ down the avenue
Holdin’ hands
We could take a plane
Or maybe hop a train
And window shop in Amsterdam

Take me to Mexico
Wake me up in Singapore
Maybe we could see Morocco
Take me where I’ve never been before

Drinkin’ margaritas
With the senoritas
Eaatin’ sukiyaki
In toyko
Maybe chop suey
Just me and you
Come on

Take me to Mexico
Wake me up in Singapore
Maybe we could see Morocco
Take me where I’ve never been before

Take me somewhere exotic
Far away
To a distant shore
A quiet beach could be hypnotic
Take me where I’ve never been before
