The Nowhere Road

"I been down this road

Searching for the end

It don't go nowhere

Just brings you back again

Leaves you lonely and cold

Standing on the shoulder

But you've come too far

To go back home

So you're walking on

A nowhere road

Some folks say, if you keep rolling

And keep it on the yellow line

It'll take you on the big highway

But there's a toll to pay, if you're going

The keeper of the gate is blind

So you better be prepared to pay."
