Song Lyrics

Man, I hate you found me here
With whiskey on my breath
I know I should be ashamed
So much for those twelve steps
He said "No my son, I know you're doin' your best
For all you've been through, hey, I understand
I only came in here to be your friend
You know she still asks about you
And wonders how you're doin' and where you been"

Well tell her I'm in Tampa, on the causeway
Watchin' the waves roll in
Tell her I'm in Aspen, in a cabin
Findin' myself again
Tell her that I'm happy, and I've moved on
Better than I've ever been
Just don't tell her that you saw me, drownin' in this bottle
Tryin' to make her disappear
You tell her I'm anywhere
Anywhere but here

It would only break her heart
If she knew the truth
See, I told her when she left
This was the last thing I would do
Tomorrow I swear I'm startin' over again
I've made it this far and I know how it ends
But she doesn't have to find out where I am
So if you see or hear from her again

Well tell her I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Sellin' cars five days a week
Tell her I'm in Mobile, Alabama
Gettin' back on my feet
Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
Lookin' better than you've ever seen
Just don't tell her that you saw me, drownin' in this bottle
Tryin' to make her disappear
You tell her I'm anywhere
Anywhere but here

Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
But let her know that I still care
Man, tell her I'm anywhere
Anywhere but here

I'll tell her I'm anywhere
Anywhere, but here
