Anywhere But Here Lyrics

Hometown in my rearview,
This truck ain't got enough gas.
It ain't got enough gas to get me fast,
Far away from you.

I paid my dues in other towns:
Here, I just blow a fuse.
An' nothin' I can do that's gonna change you,
I won't change my tune.

Anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here.
Rob a little money from the cashier
To get me anywhere but here

I spent a little time in Nashville,
In the back of a limousine.
They kissed my ass and they shook my hand:
Turned their back on me.

I gotta book of matches,
And a bottle of kerosene.
Toss 'em a Molotov cocktail,
Well, maybe that'll change their scene.

Anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here.
Gather round friends, lend me your ears.
Anywhere but here

Instrumental break.

Gonna get me a rocket ship,
Aim it towards that sun.
Throw me in and strap me down,
5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1.

Anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here.
Shoot me through the atmosphere,
Anywhere but here.

Anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here.
Blow me through the ionosphere,
Anywhere but here
