Hometown in my rearview, this truck ain't got enough gas,
it ain't got enough gas to get me fast far away from you.
Paid my dues in other towns, here I just blow a fuse,
nothin' I can do that'll change you, I won't change my tune.
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here,
rob a little money from the cashier, anywhere but here.
I spent a little time in Nashville in the back of a limousine,
they kissed my ass and they shook my hand, turned their back on me.
I gotta book of matches and a bottle of kerosene,
toss 'em a Molotov cocktail, maybe that'll change their scene.
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here,
gather round friends, lend me your ears, anywhere but here.
Gonna get me a rocket ship, aim it towards that sun,
throw me in and strap me down, 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1.
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here,
shoot me through the atmosphere, anywhere but here.
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here,
blow me through the ionosphere, anywhere but here.
