Goin’ Places Lyrics by The Jacksons

The Very Best of The Jacksons

1977

[Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places
I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places
[Verse 1]
I want to go
To a different land
Try my best
To understand
The different traditions
And customs
That people have, yeah
The world is bigger
Than this old town
I want to get my feet up
Off the ground
I've saved up my money
I'm leavin' here today
[Chorus]
Cause I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places
I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places
[Verse 2]
I want to get
A first class seat
Climbing so high up to forty thousand feet
It don't take long
To get where I want to go, yeah
I'm gonna have myself a ball
This ole world I want to see it all
I got my clothes packed
I'm leavin' right away
[Chorus]
Cause I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places
I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin', goin', goin', goin'
[Verse 3]
The world is bigger
Than this ole town
I want to get my feet up
Off the ground
I've saved up my money
I'm leavin' right away
[Chorus]
Cause I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin' places
I like the feelin' I get
When I'm ridin' in a jet
Say I'm goin', goin', goin', goin
[Outro]
Goin', goin', goin', goin'
(New York, look out here we come)
Here we, here we come, yeah
(Detroit, look out here we come)
Detroit, here we come
(D.C., look out here we come)
D.C., look out here we come
(L.A., look out here we come)
L.A., look out here we come
(Houston, look out here we come)
Houston, look out here we come
(Chicago, Philadelphia)
Gary, Indiana
(I say we're going across the water)
Going across the water
(Going across the water)
Goin', goin', goin' places
(Japan, look out here come)
Come on, yeah
(England, look out here we come)

(Scotland, look out here we come)
Look out, look out here we come

I'm gonna see it all
Get it on
