Allison Moorer - Can't Get There From Here

(Allison Moorer/Bruce Robison)





You can't get there from here


I can't live on bread and water


You heard the one about the farmer's daughter


She just needs a little atmosphere


You don't pick your occupation


I didn't ask for this frustration


I need a life and a nice cold beer


But you can't get there from here





If I had time to think about it


I'd build a castle in the yard


For all the things I want so much


Always something I can't touch


But I guess that would be too hard





You can't get there from here


I can't live on bread and water


You heard the one about the farmer's daughter


She just needs a little atmosphere


You don't pick your occupation


I didn't ask for this frustration


I need a life and a nice cold beer


But you can't get there from here





I'm on a road that's going nowhere


Looking for a place that I belong


The wind's pushing me in all directions


But none of them look like home


And you can't get there from here


You can't live on bread and water


You heard the one about the farmer's daughter


She just needs a little atmosphere


Every right track turns out wrong


A different tune but the same old song


I need a life and a nice cold beer


But you can't get there from here


No you can't get there from here
