* "New Holy Land" from ''Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto'' is a subversion -- after the confrontation between the French and Spanish students, where the French students attacked Miguel because he's Jewish, Miguel sings about the explorers currently (1491) traveling the world to find a place with a freedom they can't have in Europe, but he tells Angelo that a better world isn't something you find, it's something you have to create.

Subtrope of LocationSong. Often an IWantSong. If the "somewhere" in question is just ''anywhere that isn't home'', it's a WanderlustSong. Compare SettingOffSong, LeavingTheNestSong. Could overlap with IWantSong.

* Also by Music/TomWaits is "Chicago" (from the album ''Music/BadAsMe''), a more guarded version of this trope, as the narrator isn't entirely confident that Chicago will be any better than the unspecified place where he and his family currently are.
** "Goin' Out West" (off of ''Music/BoneMachine'') is both this and an IAmSong, with the extremely macho narrator bragging about just how much they're going to love him when he gets to Hollywood.
** "Whistle Down The Wind" (also on ''Bone Machine'') is this trope from the perspective of someone who is too terrified to make that actual leap out of his comfortable life, but also can't bear to just let life pass him by.

* "Cowtown" by Music/TheyMightBeGiantsMusic/TheyMightBeGiants, which is probably an homage to the above "Octopus's Garden".
