Nowhere Is Where

Nowhere is where I come from

Where nothin' grows but the debt you owe

And the dry rivers run

And the dry rivers run

Nowhere is where in 1999

I was speeding down that gravel road

Past the Mercer county line

Past the Mercer county line

On your way down, won't you pick me up?

If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck

If you're going nowhere, I could use a ride

Point the headlights south and drive

Nowhere is where my thoughts go to roam

Between the combine clouds and the waves of doubt

And the miles and miles of corn

And the miles and miles of corn

On your way down, won't you pick me up?

If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck

If you're going nowhere, I could use a ride

Point the headlights south and

Turn the radio on

We'll be good as gone

When the sun comes up

Till the highway stops

And the wheels fall off

And the engine rusts

Till the pavement burns

And tomorrow turns

Into a blaze of glory

I've got no regrets

Light a cigarette

And rewrite the story

On your way down, won't you pick me up?

If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck

If you're going nowhere, I could use a ride

Point the headlights south and drive
