I took you down to the station
And I bought your ticket
Lord, I hate to see you go
And as you walk away
Please don't turn around, 'cause
I know you'd hate to see me cry
But I put you on that bus
And as it pulls away
You know I'd really rather be
Oh, anywhere but here
Nowhere else but here
Anywhere but here
I wish I could take you there, now
Sit around the hotel room
We're playing cards for nickels
It should always be this way
But I'm just a man
And you're a bit too crazy
And being together's always hard
So I put you on that bus
But as it pulls away
You know I'd really rather be
Oh, anywhere but here
Nowhere else but here
Anywhere but here
I wish I could take you there, now
'Cause I sure as hell don't wanna be here
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
So now you're gone
And it's my fault
And now that you're gone
I just had this thought
That I can hardly wait to see you
I can hardly wait to be
Oh, anywhere but here
But I'm just a man
And you're a bit too crazy
And being together is always hard
Lord knows I'd rather be, yeah
Oh, anywhere but here
Nowhere else but here
Anywhere but here
I wish I could take you there, now
'Cause I sure as hell don't wanna be here
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
Oh, now that you're gone
I can hardly wait to see you
I can hardly wait to see you
