Nowhere Fast

(Verse 1)

I wake up past noon, with a headache and doubt

Half-empty bottle still lyin’ about

I stare at the ceiling, try to make sense

Of a life that’s been paid for in pain and expense

(Verse 2)

Momma once told me I had a good heart

But good hearts don’t mean much when you fall apart

I chase every shadow, I run from the light

I’m too tired to change and too numb to fight

(Chorus)

I’m goin’ nowhere fast, drivin’ circles in my head

With a map full of dreams and a soul full of dread

I don’t know who I am, don’t know who to be

Just a stranger with bad habits lookin’ for peace

Yeah, I’m lost in this life, and it’s killin’ me slow

But I still keep on driftin’ 'cause it’s all that I know

(Verse 3)

I’ve burned every bridge with a six-pack and pride

Told folks I’m fine, then just ran off to hide

A smile that don’t reach me, a laugh that feels fake

I’m a man with a past he can’t seem to shake

(Chorus)

I’m goin’ nowhere fast, drivin’ circles in my head

With a map full of dreams and a soul full of dread

I don’t know who I am, don’t know who to be

Just a stranger with bad habits lookin’ for peace

Yeah, I’m lost in this life, and it’s killin’ me slow

But I still keep on driftin’ 'cause it’s all that I know

(Bridge)

Maybe one day I’ll wake up and find

A road that leads out of this mess in my mind

But until that day, I’ll keep rollin’ through

This bottle, this town, and the ghost of you

(Final Chorus)

I’m goin’ nowhere fast, but I can’t turn around

Every mile I drive just wears me down

I don’t know who I am, don’t know who to be

Just a man with regrets where a soul used to be

Yeah, I’m lost in this life, like a leaf in the breeze

And I pray there's a place where the lost find some peace

(Outro)

But tonight I’ll keep drinkin’, try to forget

The man in the mirror I ain’t faced yet...
