Many years after they`ve graduated from highschool, one friend who has moved to the city returns to visit the other who has stayed in their hometown. The friend who has stayed behind has married her highschool sweetheart and has the home and life she`s always wanted. Sadly, she`s miserable with this life and her relationship with her husband has turned potentially dangerous. The city friend persuades the married friend to leave with her - go anywhere rather than stay in this life.

Lyrics
I Would Take You Anywhere
Verse 1:
Let's take rhythm and ride and ride and ride and ride
Or hop in my car and drive and drive and drive
And chase will follow don't worry 'bout that
Chorus:
'Cause I would take you anywhere if you would ever ask
Yes I would take you outta there if you would ever ask
Verse 2:
Instead and seeking and finding you hide and hide and hide
You're living the life but you're not alive
Sell the farm and buy yourself back
Verse 3:
She said do you trust me I do I do I do
And ten years later that still holds true
And chase will follow don't worry 'bout that, don't worry 'bout that, don't
worry 'bout that
And chase will follow don't worry 'bout that, don't worry 'bout that, don't worry
