Anywhere with You


I’m driving through a farming town
All pale yellows and faded browns
Feels like I’m in 1952

Smoky eggs and bacon fat
from a greasy joint called jawbone flats
This place has been here since I was two

But I don’t want to live here anymore
I don’t think I can stay
And work your daddy’s store
I’ve covered all the ground in this town
And I just need a little more

We could drop it all
We could head for the coast
Find ourselves an old houseboat
I would go anywhere with you

We could tour the world
be Country stars
You can sing and I’ll play guitar
I don’t need anyone but you

But you-ou-ou-ou
But you-ou-ou-ou

In the winter when the wild winds call
Sometimes I get trapped inside my own walls
I just can’t get through

All my tomorrows turn to todays
I’ve been so stuck on yesterday
I almost lost you

But I don’t want to live here anymore
I don’t think I can stay
And work your daddy’s store
I’ve covered all the ground in this town
And I just need a little more

We could drop it all
We could head for the coast
Find ourselves an old houseboat
I would go anywhere with you

We could head down South
Be movie stars
Buy a big house and 2 fancy cars
I would go anywhere with you

We could fly away
We could see it all
We could float the Nile
And walk the Great Wall
I would go anywhere with you

We’ll blow up these hills
Sift through the rocks
I’ll work the sluice
And you call the shots
I don’t need anyone but you
