And he don't know where
The right front tire
Is gonna need some air
Up around the bend
Just a two pump place
So he pulls in
To get his bearings straight
And he thumbs back
Through his life
The pages cut
Just like a knife
One by one
He tears them out
How he got this lost
He don't know how
In a nowhere town
With a nowhere name
He's nowhere closer to where he came from
Dead sure no one's to blame
He's just off the map again
Well it starts to rain
He's gonna wait it out
Gonna rest his eyes
Gonna face his doubts
And he pours a drink
In a paper cup
He goes to sleep
And he don't wake up
In a nowhere town
With a nowhere name
He's nowhere closer to where he came from
Dead sure no one's to blame
He's just off the map
In a nowhere town
With a nowhere name
He's nowhere closer to where he came from
Dead sure no one's to blame
He's just off the map
He's down a dead end road And he don't know where The right front tire Is gonna need some air Up around the bend Just a two pump place So he pulls in To get his bearings straight And he thumbs back Through his life The pages cut Just like a knife One by one He tears them out How he got this lost He don't know how In a nowhere town With a nowhere name He's nowhere closer to where he came from Dead sure no one's to blame He's just off the map again Well it starts to rain He's gonna wait it out Gonna rest his eyes Gonna face his doubts And he pours a drink In a paper cup He goes to sleep And he don't wake up In a nowhere town With a nowhere name He's nowhere closer to where he came from Dead sure no one's to blame He's just off the map In a nowhere town With a nowhere name He's nowhere closer to where he came from Dead sure no one's to blame He's just off the map Explain Request ×
