I Can't Get to You From Here

Words & Music by Fred Knipe and Steve Chandler / Southwest Words & Music (BMI)


I’m glad you called me, I still feel your voice
Touch something inside me but I have no choice
But to tell you I’m no longer one of the boys
And I can’t get to you from here



No, I don’t think you know me if you saw me up close
‘Cause I’ve built me a family and I don’t like to boast
But I’m all settled in to what I need the most
And I can’t get to you from here



I can’t turn back the years
And get crazy again and have nothing to fear
Easy as it might appear
You can’t just turn back and get there from here



Now I only bet when I’ve got all the cards
I don’t take on all comers when they come on too hard
I’m a daddy and a voter and I go to bed tired
And I can’t get to you from here
