Anywhere is Better Than Here
words and music by Mary Karlzen / Mark Scandariato

I ride the long dark highway, the sign says keep to the right
I ride the long dark highway in the cool black of the night
I know things have got to get better when I get there
'Cause anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here
Where I'm going, boy, I don't really care
'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you in my sight

I'm riding fast and low, with his memory right behind
There's a new life waiting for me, and I'm gonna make it mine
I don't care if the sun don't shine out there
'Cause anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here

Where I'm going, boy, I don't really care
Cause I've been there and I'll be there again
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you in my sight

And I've never felt so strong and alive
Than to pack up, leave you and drive

I ride the long dark highway, dawn is coming, I see the light
And if I start all over, this time, this time I'll get it right
Don't ask me where I'm going when you don't really care
Cause anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here
Where I'm going, boy, I don't really care
'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you
