Those Poor Bastards – Headed Nowhere lyrics

Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere
Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere

Baby baby baby
I thought you was mine
Honey honey honey
In my arms for all time
But then a handsome stranger
Bought your love for a dime

Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere
Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere

You spend your whole life
Waiting for someone to adore
A gal with an evil mind
Who knows what you are
Might as well just walk out there
In front of a car

Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere
Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere

Tell me darlin' are you worried?
This emptiness can't be buried

The things that mean a lot to you
Mean nothing to them
The world you created now
Is starting to dim
The life you have built you see
Is vapid and grim

Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere
Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere

If only there was someone
You could talk to at night
When you're feeling lonely
And you can't see no light
All the things you thought were wrong
Turns out they were right

Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere
Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere

Tell me darlin' are you worried?
This emptiness can't be buried

Money that you gave me
You ain't getting it back
I don't care your father's heart
It had an attack
My empathy for humans
It do certainly lack

Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere
Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere

You're acting like a cripple
With no arms and no legs
You drank all the cider
Now you're down to the dregs
Every stupid life is crushed
Like hard boiled eggs

Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere
Pedal to the metal
And I'm headed nowhere

Tell me darlin' are you worried?
This emptiness can't be buried
