Lyrics

Going Nowhere Fast

SHE MADE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR
SHE DIDN?T WANT ME NO MORE
SHE WAS LAUGHIN? LIKE THE DEVIL
WHEN SHE THREW ME OUT THE DOOR

SHE SAID FOR TEN YEARS I?VE BEEN WAITING
FOR YOU TO WALK ME DOWN THE AISLE
BUT I KNOW THAT?LL NEVER HAPPEN BOY
CAUSE THAT JUST AIN?T YOUR STYLE

SO WITH A SUITCASE AND A TOOTHBRUSH
AND A WAYLON JENNINGS TAPE
I CLIMBED INTO MY PICKUP TRUCK
AND HEADED FOR THE INTERSTATE

THERE WAS AN OPEN ROAD IN FRONT OF ME
I THOUGHT WAS PAVED WITH GOLD
A CHANCE TO CHASE THE DREAMS I HAD
BEFORE I GOT TOO OLD

BUT SOMEWHERE ON THAT HIGHWAY
I TOOK A WRONG TURN
I CAME TO REALIZE THAT I
STILL HAD A LOT TO LEARN

I GOT THIS FEELING DEEP INSIDE
THAT THIS WOULD NEVER LAST
I KNEW WHERE I WAS GOING
AND I WAS GOING NOWHERE FAST

CHORUS
NOW I?M GOING NOWHERE FAST
EVERYTHING GOOD I HAD NOW?S IN THE PAST
I?VE GOT TO FIND AWAY TO GET BACK TO YESTERDAY
CAUSE I?M GOIN? NOWHERE FAST

AS I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY
SHE WAS STANDING THERE OUTSIDE
I CLOSED MY EYES MY KNEES GOT WEEK
AS I SWALLOWED ALL MY PRIDE

I WALKED UP TO THE DOOR STEP
AND FELL DOWN TO MY KNEE
BEGGED FOR HER FORGIVENESS
TOLD HER SHE?S ALL I?LL EVER NEED

SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED
AND SAID I DON?T REALLY CARE
SO WHY DON?T YOU CLIMB BACK IN THAT PICKUP TRUCK
AND HEAD BACK TO YOUK NOWHERE

CHORUS TWICE
