Nowhere Fast Songtext
von Sam Barber

There′s a sky lined city buried in my mind
With traces of a man long left behind
I swear, I haven't changed, but some think I might
I swear, I haven′t changed, and it ain't a matter of time

Thought movin' on to somethin′ new would fill my time
But again, I′m just as empty as a bottle of wine
Oh Lord, I can't erase what′s wired in my mind
Oh Lord, I can't erase what′s wired in my mind

Growin' deep to cut my roots
Prayin′ to the Lord, I'll find my truth
Right now, right here, don't feel like anywhere
Through these days that beat my ass
I′m learnin′ you just can't get nowhere fast
Somehow, someday, I know I′ll make it there
Somehow, someday, I know I'll make it there


There′s a drop-dead smile and a beautiful mind
That I traded for a dollar and a couple of limes
I'll sing, every night but still just ain′t right

And I remember holdin' hope in the stinging cold
Said I'd make a little money and move on home
But we both know that it just won′t go that way
But we both know that it just won′t go that way

Growin' deep to cut my roots
Prayin′ to the Lord, I'll find my truth
Right now, right here, don′t feel like anywhere
Through these days that beat my ass
I'm learnin′ you just can't get, nowhere fast
Somehow, someday, I know I'll make it there
I know I′ll make it there
Oh, I know I′ll make it there

There's a sky lined city buried in my mind
With traces of a man long left behind
I swear, I haven′t changed, but some think I might
I swear, I haven't changed
It ain′t a matter of time
