Road To Nowhere - American Aquarium

Well her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to

nowhere

and in the shadows of her second fathers shoulders

she just stood there, crying, crying

then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war bound soldiers marchin'

she ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness,

when they’re dyin'

she’s dyin'

and I told her I loved her and she told me she’s leaving

just like every other person in my life that I believed in

and as she slammed the door and walked away

I turned on my radio, oh no

And I played her a dancing song to guide her home

And I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus

But like Judas she rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces

A wedding ring, a wedding ring

And in my darkest hour her eyes filled with desperation

Her words were sharp and her sword was swift

Lord I had been forsaken

By my one true love, my one true love

and I told her I loved her, she told me she’s leaving

just like every other person in my life that I’ve believed in

and as she slammed the door and walked away,

I turned on my radio, oh no

and I played her a dancing song to guide her home

and as I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared

I wonder where you are and who you’re with, do you think that he cares

About you, about you

Naw

Now I am not a godly man my roots twisted and sinful

But to have you back I’d bow my head and sing a southern Baptist hymnal

Hallelujah, hallelujah
