All the time you've spent on livin',
You don't really try.
All the time you should be givin',
You ain't livin' life.
All the time you've spent to find,
You ought to know by now,
You Can't Get There From Here, boy.
You Can't Get There From Here.

All the friends you left behind you,
They don't understand.
All the friends you kept denyin,
They can't make it man.
All the friends you've left to find,
You ought to know by now,
You Can't Get There From Here, boy.
You Can't Get There From Here.

All the time you spent inside
your pretty colored world,
It ain't worth a dime unless,
You've got yourself a girl.
So lay yourself aside.
You've no reason to hide.
You ought to know by now,
You Can't Get There From Here, boy.
You Can't Get There From Here.

All the love you have inside you,
You don't let it out.
All the love you kept beside you,
Was engulfed by doubt.
All the love you kept to find,
You ought to know by now,
You Can't Get There From Here, boy.
You Can't Get There From Here.
You Can't Get There From Here, boy.
You Can't Get There From Here.

I was in Tucson, Arizona when I wrote this.
The structure worked for me, holding my interest. The melody worked. The lyric worked.
