I was
riding down the highway
so very far from home
Feeling mighty lonesome,
lost and all alone

here.
Well, I was feelin' sad and lonesome
I was feelin' kindly blue
I went to see old Bill Monroe
To ask him what to do
He said, don't go searchin' far away
For somethin' very near

boy, you can't get there from here
Can't get there from here,
can't get there from here

you can't get there from here
Can't get there from here,
can't get there from here
Don't go looking yonder,
can't get there from here
You
