Nowhere Road

It's gonna get hotter before it cools down

Summer gets bad in a little southern town

Folks get mad and lose their temper

And it stays that way till the first of November

Power blacks out and the town goes dark

A man gets knifed for a cutting remark

So if you feel like you're about to explode

You can let it all out on Nowhere Road

If I could be anywhere in the world right now

I'd be on Nowhere Road

No one could find me, no one would care

But I'd be there, yes I'd be there

Nowhere Road, you can hide your face

Nowhere Road, where your secret is safe

But if you wanna get lost so no one will know

Then Nowhere Road's where you gotta go

Twenty-two men, everyone of them armed

Looking to find who was it torched that barn

They don't call it revenge, just back porch justice

And the women peak out to see what all the fuss is

Got a suspect hanging from a lower branch

Another face down in a muddy trench

And the third shot dead in the cab of his Ford

Parked due north of Nowhere Road

If I could be anywhere in the world right now

I'd be on Nowhere Road

No one could find me, no one would care

But I'd be there, yes I'd be there

Nowhere Road, you can hide your face

Nowhere Road, where your secret is safe

But if you wanna get lost so no one will know

Then Nowhere Road's where you gotta go

Well the preacherman's daughter and the janitor's son

Had a dangerous romance so they're on the run

Sneeking around to keep it on the sly

But her pappa found out and they were caught in her lie

So they packed a little sack full of pictures and shirts

Bid a hasty goodbye as much as it hurts

No one saw them disappear 'cause they didn't leave a note

But I thought I saw them running down Nowhere Road

If I could be anywhere in the world right now

I'd be on Nowhere Road

No one could find me, no one would care

But I'd be there, yes I'd be there

Nowhere Road, you can hide your face

Nowhere Road, where your secret is safe

But if you wanna get lost so no one will know

Then Nowhere Road's where you gotta go

Nowhere Road, you can hide your face

Nowhere Road, where your secret is safe

But if you wanna get lost so no one will know

Then Nowhere Road's where you gotta go

Nowhere Road, Nowhere Road

But if you wanna get lost so no one will know

Then Nowhere Road's where you gotta go

Nowhere Road, Nowhere Road

Nowhere Road, Nowhere Road's where you gotta go
