Lyrics

Can't Get There From Here

The bridge at the end of Main St. is closed for repairs
And the kid at the Texaco tells me it's been that way at least the last three years

So I ask him just which way I need to go to get on over there
He says, "Mister you ain't listenin'. You can't get there from here."

Every road I turn down reminds me of something I did wrong
And if I wondered why I wondered, well the reasons have been right there all along

There's a two-lane that runs smack dab down the middle of all my hopes and fears
I'm standin' in the intersection, but I can't get there from here.

It's sunny and warm today, but I still feel a chill
there's ghosts out on that boulevard from a past that I can't kill
and I thought If I got away, I could start all over clean
but no matter how I steer, one thing's becomming clear, you can't get there from here

She wasn't on the porch when I went by, lookin for a sign
and the phone gives back my quarter on the number that I dialed a dozen times
And the word is that she's happy now and I got no right to try and interfere
What i'd give to get her back, but I can't get there from here

It's sunny and warm today, but I still feel a chill
there's ghosts out on that boulevard from a past that I can't kill
and I thought if I got away, I could start all over clean
but no matter how I steer, one thing's becomming clear, I can't get there from here
Yeah, no matter how I steer, one thing's becomming clear, you can't get there from here
