Lyrics

Anywhere But Here
© 2007 Joseph Miller

Kicked my firebird into gear
Just to hear
That thundering vibration
Flyin' down a country road
With No particular Destination
Well that girl of my dream
Is out there waitin just for me
got all night and seven bucks
just to try and figure out where
she could be
Well she might live here
In this quiet little town
Maybe I'll slow it down
Have myself a look around
(Chorus)
Tonight I gotta be anywhere but
Tonight I gotta be anywhere but
Tonight I gotta be anywherre but here

I drove one hundred twenty miles
just to buy myself this cup of coffee
Maybe I'll have a piece of pie
Check my change .. well maybe I' won't
I'll drive five more miles
then I've got to turn around
Go tell some lies to the boys back home
Bout all the cool things I found
My gas is runnin low
But my spirits running high
Maybe that girl will show
At that dance on Friday night

but (Chorus)
