The members of Cross Canadian Ragweed -- Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale and Jeremy Plato -- have known each other pretty much since kindergarten in the band's hometown of Yukon, Okla. They all wanted to get out, and music seemed like a good escape. When they all had graduated (except for Ragsdale, the youngest member), they started jamming at a party, and Cross Canadian Ragweed was born. Yukon as a rule wasn't a very musician-friendly town, but they had one notable local squarely in their corner: Ragsdale's father Johnny. "My dad was a guitar player.

Anywhere But Here Lyrics

Cross Canadian Ragweed

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.
I paid my dues in other towns:
Here, I just blow a fuse.
An' nothin' I can do that's gonna change you,
I won't change my tune.
Anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here.
Rob a little money from the cashier
To get me 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,
Well, maybe that'll change their scene.
Anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here.
Gather round friends, lend me your ears.
Anywhere but here
Instrumental break.
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.
