Dude, Let's Go On Tour

[ps11932]

So, here we are sitting in Downey, California- not a bad place but there nothing happening! Let's hit the road and visit some places (countries, states, cities, geographic regions, etc.) specifically mentioned in Carpenter songs. I'd say let's start with a trip to Dixie's sunny shore. (Home For The Holidays) Where do you want to go next?

[beaner]

Let's go way down south to Louisiana...

[wisejester7]

Time to swing north to Tennessee and then to Pennsylvania.

And from Atlantic to Pacific -
We can go to Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Baltimore, D.C., LA, New York City, the Motor City (Detroit), San Jose (just California dreamin'), and a stop over to see the Honolulu city lights.

When we are ready to do some international trips, we should visit Argentina, Guayaquil and Jamaica.

sounds terrific, I'm on board for wherever you wanna go

[beaner]

Of course if you ever find yourself not knowing where to go just ask yourself "Where Do I Go From Here?"

[Rick Henry]

This California label would like to go to Jamaica.

[beaner]

Then we'll meet up on that "beautiful island in the sun".

[Rick Henry]

Maybe later on take a drive "out of town" and catch a movie at the "bijou".

[beaner]

Before I know it, "I'm almost home again....."

[Rick Henry]

In this journey... on this tour I will touch a star and on my way to Heaven...

... And when I get back from Heaven I will take a cruise upon the deep blue sea... and fly across the floor... when we're dancin'...

... I'll be coming home on the old 9 to 5 to feed the deer... I'll leave behind the empty motel rooms to take the kids to see the mad puppeteer's puppet show...

... In my hometown on the street I'm in perpetual motion from early in the mornin' til it's dark... but soon I'll be walking through that door onto that yet airliner to catch a flight to the masquerade where I watch your wonderful parade.


* Can anyone name all the songs that are used in my little tour?
