Lari White's, "Take Me"
The Lyrics:
Forty miles outside of Houston's city limits
…
Take me up to Wichita
Hold me in Niagara Falls
Rock me in Memphis
Kiss me down in New Orleans
Marry me in the Keys
I don't care where we go
As long as you take me
…
Take me up to Wichita
Hold me in Niagara Falls
Rock me in Memphis
Kiss me down in New Orleans
Marry me in the Keys
I don't care where we go
As long as you take me
Why:
the cities of Houston, Texas; Wichita, Kansas; Memphis, Tennessee; and New Orleans, Louisiana; also refers to Niagara Falls and the Florida Keys
