Nothing Is the Same

Here I go
Out into the great big somewhere
Where I'm going, I ain't from there
It ain't called by any name I would know
But I have tied off every shoelace
And I'm headed for a new place
And nothing is the same
Yeah, nothing is the same

The highway winds
Between each dock and destination
The way I take was once Creation
How the mighty have been tamed
Left behind, like every line now in my story
Are her golden days of glory
But now nothing is the same
Yeah, nothing is the same

And I was born
Beneath the moonshine and the Dixon
Where men of old raised their resistance
Till they hung their heads in shame
And felt the scorn of a turn toward the horizon
When they lifted up their eyes and saw
That nothing is the same
Yeah, nothing is the same

By and by
All must depart in their own season
And every minute since our leaving
We lament the way we came
I could try to make it back to where I started
But once you've given up that garden
No, no, nothing is the same
Yeah, nothing is the same

So here I am
I stay one step ahead of sorrow
'Cause if I can make it till tomorrow
I can get through anything
Got no plans, but your love has kept me off the shoulder
Though I once was known to roll there
I don't go now by that name
Yeah, nothing is the same
