Go Anywhere You Want

Don’t want to be caught in a lightning storm
On Lake Okeechobee
Don’t wanna be anywhere near the swamp
At Okefenoke
Don’t wanna run with the Wildebeest
Down in the Serengeti
Don’t wanna go sailin’ out to sea
To see a swirlin’ eddy

I’m gonna stay right here at home
With my TV, fridge and my iPhone
I’m sayin’ “no” to the vast unknown
Go anywhere you want but you’re goin’ alone

Don’t wanna cross the Gobi’s desert sands
In a caravan of sheiks and camels
Go to Mount Pinatubo where the ground explodes
And the Philipinos scramble
I won’t walk the streets of Mozambique
It’s just too big a gamble
And to Botswana I’m sayin’ “nah”
You ain’t no place to ramble

I’m gonna stay right here at home
With my TV, fridge and my iPhone
I’m sayin’ “no” to the vast unknown
Go anywhere you want but you’re goin’ alone

In the Mekong Delta I won’t run helter skelter
Or through Malaysian monsoons or Sahara swelter
No Antarctica or Bosnia
Cancel my flight to Yugoslavia

Don’t want to be in Death Valley
Or in North Korea
Got no plans for Afghanistan
Or for Tanzania
At the gates of hell I wouldn’t do well
Anymore than in Siberia
I’d rather avoid than be paranoid
In the jungles of Nigeria

I’m gonna stay right here at home
With my TV, fridge and my iPhone
I’m sayin’ “no” to the vast unknown
Go anywhere you want but you’re goin’ alone
I’m gonna stay right here at home
I don’t wanna roam where the buffalo roam
Or anywhere near the danger zone
Go anywhere you want but you’re goin’ alone…
