Can’t Get There From Here Lyrics

Allison Moorer

You cant get there from here
I cant live on bread and water
You heard the one about the farmers daughter
She just needs a little atmosphere
You dont pick your occupation
I didnt ask for this frustration
I need a life and a nice cold beer
But you cant get there from here
If I had time to think about it
Id build a castle in the yard
For all the things I want so much
Always something I cant touch
But I guess that would be too hard
You cant get there from here
I cant live on bread and water
You heard the one about the farmers daughter
She just needs a little atmosphere
You dont pick your occupation
I didnt ask for this frustration
I need a life and a nice cold beer
But you cant get there from here
Im on a road thats going nowhere
Looking for a place that I belong
The winds pushing me in all directions
But none of them look like home
And you cant get there from here
You cant live on bread and water
You heard the one about the farmers 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 cant get there from here
No you cant get there from here
