You can't get there from here, you can't live on bread and water 
You heard the one about the farmers 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 an ice cold beer, and you can't get there from here 

If I had time I'd think about it, I'd build a castle in the yard 
Of all the things that I can't touch, but I wanted them so much 
Why's it always have to be so hard 

You can't get there from here, you can't live on bread and water 
You heard the one about the farmers 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 an ice cold beer, and you can't get there from here 

I'm on a road that's going nowhere, looking for a place where I belong 
The winds pushing me in all directions 
And none of them look like home, and you know 

You can't get there from here, you can't live on bread and water 
You heard the one about the farmers 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 an ice cold beer, and you can't get there from here
