Downtown dances past my window as the full moon hits my eye
Past the factory and over the railroad tracks- I'm doing sixty in a forty-five
All my coming and going, hasn't gotten me anywhere
I thought I was moving, but I'm still here

(In this) nowhere town
This nowhere town
Where people dream of the stars
But they wake-up on the ground

I ain't got no excuses
I ain't got no alibis
You know I sure wish I did
Cause' it'd be so much easier to lie

I was gonna be somebody
I had pockets full of plans
But somebody somewhere must of stole them
Cause' here I am

(In this) nowhere town
This nowhere town
Where people dream of the stars
But they wake-up on the ground

They talk of leavin' while they
Hang around
This place is just a nowhere town

Someday things will change
Just as soon as that day comes
I'm gonna set sail out on the highway
And I'm gonna run from this

(In this) nowhere town
This nowhere town
Where people dream of the stars
But they wake-up on the ground

They talk of leavin' while they
Hang around
This place is just a nowhere town
