Can't Get There From Here Lyrics - Allison Moorer

You can't get there from here 

I can't live on bread and water 

You heard the one about the farmer's daughter 

She just needs a little atmosphere 

You don't pick your occupation 

I didn't ask for this frustration 

I need a life and a nice cold beer 

But you can't get there from here 

If I had time to think about it 

I'd build a castle in the yard 

For all the things I want so much 

Always something I can't touch 

But I guess that would be too hard 

You can't get there from here 

I can't live on bread and water 

You heard the one about the farmer's daughter 

She just needs a little atmosphere 

You don't pick your occupation 

I didn't ask for this frustration 

I need a life and a nice cold beer 

But you can't get there from here 

I'm on a road that's going nowhere 

Looking for a place that I belong 

The wind's pushing me in all directions 

But none of them look like home 

And you can't get there from here 

You can't live on bread and water 

You heard the one about the farmer's 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 can't get there from here 

No you can't get there from here
