Lyrics
The man in the red baseball cap
Looked at me with a sideways glance
And said "you can't get there from here"
You can't get there from here
30 minutes late, double yellow line
I'm behind the slowest guy in line
Singing "you can't get there from here"
You can't get there from here
Pedal to the floor, old farm truck
I'm gonna need just a little luck if I
Wanna get there from here
If I want to get there from here
(Chorus)
Break me momma I don't wanna go
It ain't worth gettin mad I know
I'm gonna turn around, turn around, turn around
And go back home
I'm gonna turn around, turn around turn around and
Go back home
Possum struttin on the road side
I sure hope that he thinks twice
If he wants to get there from here
If he wants to get there from here
Why'd the chicken cross the road
Oh I think that we all know
He just wants to get there from here woh , oh oh oh
He just wants to get there from here
(Chorus)
The stars are out, moon is high
Oh I think that I won't cry
If I can't get there from here
If I can't get there from here, wo oh oh oh oh
I can't get there from here
I can't get there from here.
