Nobody Knows - JJ Cale

Scattered to the wind, I don’t know

Things that we trust could crumble into dust

No one can really say, «It ain’t so»

When you go over your mountain

When you’re lookin' down the road

When you think you’re goin' backwards

It’s all in vain, seems insane

When you ask, nobody knows

If our actions seem in doubt by the way we move about

Seems like we’re always on the run

Our mark is just a scratch like holdin' up any match

And tryin' to see the burn against the sun

When we’re goin' over the mountain

When we’re lookin' down the road

If you think you’re goin' backwards

It’s all in vain, seems insane

When you ask, nobody knows

When all our days are gone, you can catch us with a song

Something that seemed almost right

We’ve known love and joy

Eternity’s been our toy

Somethin' to play with in the night

When we’re goin' over our mountain

When we’re lookin' down the road

If you think we’re goin' backwards

You bear this all in vain, seems insane

When you ask, nobody knows

When I go over my mountain

When I’m lookin' down the road

When I think I’m goin' backwards

It’s all in vain, seems insane

When I ask, nobody knows
