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
