Nowhere Fast

Album: Everything is Fine (2007)

  • I used to think that I was living big
    Bet my money on almost anything
    Time and time, I got caught struggling
    Oh, I had plans, I had dreams

    And I had an open bar policy
    Spending time tryin' to numb the pain
    Lost my family just to gain a friend
    Oh, strange faces I didn't need

    I'm on a highway
    Ain't going no place
    Ain't got nowhere to run
    I think this deal is done
    Traveling goin' nowhere fast

    My folks used to tell me
    Turner stop and think
    Don't waste your whole life
    Doing selfish things

    Hurting your loved ones
    Just to get yourself a stir
    There comes a time when
    You gotta let it be

    I thank the Lord
    He had his hands on me
    Not really thinking


    I had sunken deep

    I looked all around
    And I was standing all alone
    I had dug my myself a hole

    I'm on a highway
    Ain't going no place
    Ain't got nowhere to run
    I think this deal is done
    Traveling goin' nowhere fast

    And I looked around
    And I was standing all alone
    I had dug my myself a hole

    I'm on a highway
    Ain't going no place
    Ain't got nowhere to run
    I think this deal is done
    Traveling goin' nowhere fast

    I'm on a highway
    A lonesome byway
    You know, I don't know where to start
    With changes on my heart
    Traveling goin' nowhere fast
    Traveling goin' nowhere fast
    Traveling goin' nowhere fast Writer/s: ANTHONY HAMILTON, KELVIN WOOTEN
