Badger

BADGER

When we were recording the first record, I was living in the Hotel Edgewater in Madison, and I was losing my mind; they put my dog to sleep. I spent Thanksgiving with the blue plate special and just crazy, crazy -- watching Rush Limbaugh and Saved By The Bell and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Alice took a plane to Chicago and came up to see me and it felt like an oasis of just quiet sanity that was so nice, but of course it didn't last and the bus that I put her on when she left was the Badger bus line.

I took you down to the station And I bought your ticket Lord I hate to see you go

And as you walk away Please don't turn around 'cause I know you'd hate to see me cry But I put you on that bus And as it pulls away You know I'd really rather be

Ohoh anywhere but here Nowhere else but here Anywhere but here I wish I could take you there, now

Sit around the hotel room We're playing cards for nickels It should always be this way But I'm just a man And you're a bit too crazy And being together's always hard So I put you on that bus But as it pulls away You know I'd really rather be

Ohoh anywhere but here Nowhere else but here Anywhere but here I wish I could take you there, now 'Cause I sure as hell don't wanna be here Ohoh now that you're gone Yoho now that you're gone Ohh now that you're gone

So now you're gone And it's my fault And now that you're gone I just had this thought That I can hardly wait to see you I can hardly wait to meet you Oh, anywhere but here

But I'm just a man And you're a bit too crazy And being together is always hard Lord knows I'd rather be

Anywhere but here Nowhere else but here Anywhere but here I wish I could take you there now 'Cause I sure as hell don't wanna be here Ohoh now that you're gone Yoho now that you're gone Ohh now that you're gone I can hardly wait to see you I can hardly wait to see you
