Lyrics
Anywhere But Here
I've been stretching nickels into dimes
Got a job waiting tables through a friend of mine
I spend my evenings elbow deep in grease
And tonight I'm feeling dead on my feet.
Lately all I'm working is the late shift.
And it's hard to make a living off two dollar tips.
Heaven knows rent won't pay itself
And this stack of bills that's growing
doesn't seem to help.

(Chorus)
but for now it's shouting orders through a window
And a boss likes to hear herself yell
Why I'm putting up with this I don't know
'Cause it makes me crazy more than I can tell.
You can bet there's times when I wish I could disappear
In my mind
I'm anywhere but here.

Sitting in my section in a shirt and tie
Running me more ragged than they realize
Sometimes I wish they'd just leave me alone
'Because I'm counting down the minutes
Until I'm on my way home.

(Chorus)

In my mind I'm anywhere but here.
