AboutBeth Burgess Expertise I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.
Experience I've been a country music fan for all of my 25 years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!
Education/Credentials I'm currently enrolled in law school (so if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have excellent research skills!)
Question when i was stationed in Kentucky i heard this song that went something like
tell her that im doing fine
tell her that im climbing some mountain
but dont tell her im still missing her
or something to that effect, i been tring to find that song for almost a year now. anyone knows what song i am talking about? thank you
Answer Hi! I've had some trouble posting this answer, so if this is a duplicate, I'm sorry! The song I think you're looking for is Chris Cagle's "Anywhere But Here." Hope this helps!
--Beth
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 here to be your friend
You know she still asks about you
And wonders how you're doin' and where you been..."
Chorus 1:
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
Tell that 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 here again
Chorus 2:
Tell her I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Sellin' cars five das a week
Tell her I'm in Mobile, Alabama
Gettin' back on my feet
Tell her 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
Tell that 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
