You Can’t Get There From Here

(K. Grimwood/E. Idlet)
I've got a box of old photographs
Mostly pictures of you;
And I never look at those pictures any more
I guess you got your negatives too
They're playing oldies on the radio
Kick the clutch and shift the gears;
You can drive all night long
But you can't get there from here
Well there's a place I remember
And I've been back several times
Guess I was looking for something
I don't know what I expected to find
So I called you on the telephone
And now it's painfully clear
We can talk all night long
But you can't get there from here

Bridge: Do you remember the time that you
Told me you loved me?
And I knew I loved you
Do you remember the time when
We said goodbye?
Well, you can hop on an airplane
Or buy a ticket for a train;
You can take a trip all around the world
But you can never get back there again
Or hit the high-school reunion
In your twentieth year;
Reminisce all night long
But you can't get there from here

Bridge:
I've got a box of old photographs
And every image came true
Funny, they almost told the future--
See, I'm not in the picture with you
They're playing oldies on the radio
Kick the clutch and shift the gears;
You can drive all night long
All night long
You can drive all night long
But you can't get there from here
