you can't get here from there

i knew when the phone rang it was you again

you're out there somewhere crying

and you need a friend

i hear a jukebox playing in a honky tonk somewhere

you're wanting to come home again

but you can't here from there

have you forgotten so soon what the trouble was

must i keep reminding you what came between us

you want a home and family

but you want your nighttime flair

you're wanting to come home again

but you can't here from there

i know you really mean it

you'd come home again

it would be the same old story

you'd still need your friends

you're miss their haunting laughter

and the flashing neon's glare

you're wanting to come home again

but you can't here from there

have you forgotten so soon what the trouble was

must i keep reminding you what came between us

you want a home and family

but you want your nighttime flair

you're wanting to come home again

but you can't here from there
