You Can't Get Here From There

(album: Before The Next Teardrop Falls - 1974)

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
