Anywhere but here

Man, I hate you found me here
With whiskey on my breath
I know I should be ashamed
So much for those twelve steps
He said "No my son, I know you´re doin´ your best
For all you´ve been through, hey, I understand
I only came here to be your friend
You know she still asks about you
And wonders how you´re doin´ and where you been..."
Tell her I´m in Tampa, on the causeway
Watchin´ the waves roll in
Tell her I´m in Aspen, in a cabin
Findin´ myself again
Tell her that I´m happy, and I´ve moved on
Better than I´ve ever been
Just don´t tell her that you saw me, drownin´ in this bottle
Tryin´ to make her disappear
Tell that I´m anywhere
Anywhere but here
It would only break her heart
If she knew the truth
See, I told her when she left
This was the last thing I would do
Tomorrow I swear I´m startin´ over again
I´ve made it this far and I know how it ends
But she doesn´t have to find out where I am
So if you see or hear from here again
Tell her I´m in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Sellin´ cars five das a week
Tell her I´m in Mobile, Alabama
Gettin´ back on my feet
Tell her I´m happy and I´ve moved on
Lookin´ better than you´ve ever seen
Just don´t tell her that you saw me, drownin´ in this bottle
Tryin´ to make her disappear
Tell that I´m anywhere
Anywhere but here
Tell her that I´m happy and I´ve moved on
But let her know that I still care
Man, tell her I´m anywhere
Anywhere but here
Tell her I´m anywhere
Anywhere, but here
With whiskey on my breath
I know I should be ashamed
So much for those twelve steps
He said "No my son, I know you´re doin´ your best
For all you´ve been through, hey, I understand
I only came here to be your friend
You know she still asks about you
And wonders how you´re doin´ and where you been..."
Tell her I´m in Tampa, on the causeway
Watchin´ the waves roll in
Tell her I´m in Aspen, in a cabin
Findin´ myself again
Tell her that I´m happy, and I´ve moved on
Better than I´ve ever been
Just don´t tell her that you saw me, drownin´ in this bottle
Tryin´ to make her disappear
Tell that I´m anywhere
Anywhere but here
It would only break her heart
If she knew the truth
See, I told her when she left
This was the last thing I would do
Tomorrow I swear I´m startin´ over again
I´ve made it this far and I know how it ends
But she doesn´t have to find out where I am
So if you see or hear from here again
Tell her I´m in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Man, tell her I´m anywhere
Anywhere but here
Tell her I´m anywhere
Anywhere, but here
