Lyrics Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam

No Future in Sight

The clock in your pocket keeps tickin'

But that don't get prayed to by me

I threw away all I was given

Just so that I could be free

I've got no future in sight

Time won't deny that I'm right

The past has always been bright

But I've got no future in sight

So, if for me you have come a-lookin'

You better knock with a gun in your hand

For boldness has started a journey

That only the graveyard will end

I've got no future in sight

Time won't deny that I'm right

The past has always been bright

But I've got no future in sight

I made love to my pretty wife this morning

Then I kissed my sleepin' babies goodbye

And have set forth upon those who decided

That this is the day I'd die

And I've got no future in sight

Time won't deny that I'm right

The past has always been bright

But I've got no future in sight
