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 doing your best

For all you've been through, hey, I understand

I only came in here to be your friend

You know she still asks about you

And wonders how you're doing and where you've been

Well, tell her I'm in Tampa on the causeway, watching the waves roll in

Tell her I'm in Aspen, in a cabin, finding 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 drowning in this bottle

Trying to make her disappear

You tell her 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 starting 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 her again

Well, tell her I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, selling cars five days a week

Tell her I'm in Mobile, Alabama, getting back on my feet

Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on, looking better than you've ever seen

Just don't tell her that you saw me drowning in this bottle

Trying to make her disappear

You tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here

Oh, 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

I'll tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here
