Road to Nowhere

Woke up broke and empty handed Didn't fit in where I'd landed Lonely lost low down and stranded So bad I nearly cried Brushed my teeth and combed my hair Put on my last pair of clean underwear Stepped out stuck my thumb in the air And just stood there roadside Wasn't more than a minute or two A big diesel rig pulled into view Driver said "I got room for you" And so I hopped inside A long white beard and a robe of gray A smile that said it's gonna be ok Twinkle in his eyes a giveaway I was in for quite a ride Until we set our selves aside Until we lose our foolish pride We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere The road to nowhere I know I've seen you there We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere I reached across and shook his hand I told him everything I'd planned He chuckled and said "ain't that grand" We began to drive on through We drove on all that day Passing exits on the way Each one had a sign to say Where the ramp led to Muslim atheist catholic jew Protestant LGBTQ Buddhist democrat socialist too Some ancient and some new Baptist republican anarchist Capitalist and communist Hindu taoist scientist An exit for them too Until we set our selves aside Until we lose our foolish pride We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere The road to nowhere I know I've seen you there We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere On the outskirts of some lonely town I drifted off, the sun went down Woke up the same old place I'd found Was coming into view I was never into politics Didn't really get my kicks Double dealin' dirty tricks Never did it's true I tried religion many years Studied read led by fears Spoke in tongues shed some tears Yea I did that too Most every exit I had tried None of them was me inside But I couldn't just forever ride I didn't know what to do Until we set our selves aside Until we lose our foolish pride We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere The road to nowhere I know I've seen you there We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere As we passed one exit by Something about it caught my eye The sign was broke the weeds were high He stopped and I just knew As I jumped down he gave me a grin Said "I'll see you again my friend" When I asked him where and when He winked and waved adieu Long ago the sign had read "Nowhere" I laughed and shook my head Because "Now here" was what it said The sign was split in two Nowhere's a great place to be Because you're now here with me You don't need some identity Just be here, be you Until we set our selves aside Until we lose our foolish pride We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere The road to nowhere I know I've seen you there We'll be forever damned to ride The road to nowhere
