Next To Nowhere
There's a town that sits off of 54
A little place where I was born
I swear the Lord blessed this side of earth
By sayin let there be fords and corn and red dirt
There ain't much to do around here except
Get through the work week and drink beer
With your friends or call a girl you been kissin
Next thing you know buddy you're stuck livin in a
One stop light town you've always called home
You'll be dyin to leave but find there's no where to go
Cuz them roots are planted deep in the ground
And you'll be fightin like hell tryin to dig em out
You'll ditch the street to take a back road
Or climb a hill to see above them corn rows
And get to wonderin whats way out there beyond this town
That sits right next to nowhere
It'll have you sittin back thinkin bout them past years
And how you couldn't wait to punch your ticket outta here
Cuz you were gunna make a name for yourself
Now those dreams are folded up holdin dust on a top shelf
And you're workin that nine to five
Bustin your back to barely make a dime
And you raise your fist and you ask God why
He kept you around when there's more to life than this
One stop light town you've always called home
You'll be dyin to leave but find there's no where to go
Cuz them roots are planted deep in the ground
And you'll be fightin like hell tryin to dig em out
You'll ditch the street to take a back road
Or climb a hill to see above them corn rows
And get to wonderin whats way out there beyond this town
That sits right next to nowhere
You'll settle down with a wife and a house full of kids
Raise em up to be tough and be glad that you did
And they'll tell ya how they wanna be just like you
But someday they're gunna find why you prayed for a better view
Away from this
One stop light town you've always called home
You'll be dyin to leave but find there's no where to go
Cuz them roots are planted deep in the ground
And you'll be fightin like hell tryin to dig em out
You'll ditch the street to take a back road
Or climb a hill to see above them corn rows
And get to wonderin whats way out there beyond this town
That sits right next to nowhere
It'll have you feelin right next to nowhere
A little place where I was born
I swear the Lord blessed this side of earth
By sayin let there be fords and corn and red dirt
There ain't much to do around here except
Get through the work week and drink beer
With your friends or call a girl you been kissin
Next thing you know buddy you're stuck livin in a
One stop light town you've always called home
You'll be dyin to leave but find there's no where to go
Cuz them roots are planted deep in the ground
And you'll be fightin like hell tryin to dig em out
You'll ditch the street to take a back road
Or climb a hill to see above them corn rows
And get to wonderin whats way out there beyond this town
That sits right next to nowhere
It'll have you sittin back thinkin bout them past years
And how you couldn't wait to punch your ticket outta here
Cuz you were gunna make a name for yourself
Now those dreams are folded up holdin dust on a top shelf
And you're workin that nine to five
Bustin your back to barely make a dime
And you raise your fist and you ask God why
He kept you around when there's more to life than this
One stop light town you've always called home
You'll be dyin to leave but find there's no where to go
Cuz them roots are planted deep in the ground
And you'll be fightin like hell tryin to dig em out
You'll ditch the street to take a back road
Or climb a hill to see above them corn rows
And get to wonderin whats way out there beyond this town
That sits right next to nowhere

You'll be dyin to leave but find there's no where to go

Or climb a hill to see above them corn rows
And get to wonderin whats way out there beyond this town
That sits right next to nowhere
It'll have you feelin right next to nowhere
