Road to Nowhere

Her mother came and packed her bags
And drove her off to nowhere
In the shadows of her second father's shoulders
She just stood there
Cryin'
She's cryin'

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 leavin'
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
I played her a dancin' song
And got her home

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 weddin' ring
A weddin' ring

And in my darkest hour
Her eyes filled with desperation
Her words were sharp and
Her sword was swift
Lord, I have been forsaken
By my one true love
My one true love

And I told her I loved her
And she told me she's leavin'
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
I played her a dancin' song
And got her home

As I lie alone tonight
In the bed we built and once shared
I wonder where you are
Who you're with
Do you think that he cares?
About you
About you

Now I am not a godly man
My road's twisted and sinful
But to have you back I'd bow my head
And sing a Southern Baptist hymnal
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
