Nowhere Is Where

Nowhere is where I come from
Where nothin grows but the debt you owe
And the dry rivers run
And the dry rivers run

Nowhere is where in 1999
I was speeding down that gravel road
Past the Mercer County line
Past the Mercer County line

On your way down won't you pick me up
If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck
If you're going nowhere I could use a ride
Point the headlights south and drive

Nowhere is where my thoughts go to roam
Between the combine clouds, the waves of doubt
And the miles and miles of corn
And the miles and miles of corn

On your way down won't you pick me up
If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck
If you're going nowhere I could use a ride
Point the headlights south and

Turn the radio on
We'll be good as gone
When the sun comes up

Til the highway stops
And the wheels fall off
And the engine rusts

Til the pavement burns
And tomorrow turns
Into a blaze of glory

Got no regrets
Light a cigarette
And rewrite the story

On your way down won't you pick me up
If there's room enough and you got gas in the truck
If you're going nowhere I could use a ride
Point the headlights south and drive
