Road to nowhere

In progress. And no music yet. A little backwards from my usual writing which occurs with guitar in hand. I may offer this up to one of my guitarist friends to find the accompany, tho I do have the melody. The bridge lack meter, but I'll tweak it once I marry it to some music.


Traveling down the road to nowhere
packed my bags walked out the back door,
I'm on my way
gone today.

Tried my best to hang on main street,
trade the songs that wouldn't buy the things,
that replace the soul
so i had to go

So maybe I'm on the road to nowhere
but it's better than already being there
now I'm testifyin'
I almost died tryin'

and maybe I will never make it,
but I've learned I can take it,
if i just keep moving
then I'm never losing

Cause I've been beat down
and pushed around
Now I'm going back
to the lost and found
where my dreams are waiting
though they're old and faded
I can't lose now
that I have found
I'll always win
with my feet on the ground
if I listen hard enough
if I follow true enough

It's hard to walk a path lonely
and I don't know if it always will be
but it the only way
they can ever choose me

when i think about who tried to save me
and lost the battle and couldn't change me
i love them still
I remember them all

it's hard to love when your heart is empty
it's hard to believe in what they see
cause if it ain't me,
how can i believe

Cause I've been beat down
and pushed around
And now I'm going back to the lost and found
where my dreams are waiting
though they're old and faded.

i won't lose now
that i have found
I'll always win
with my feet on the ground
if I listen hard enough
if I follow true enough

As long as I remember I've been trying to fake it
playing the game and never win
I just don't care if I ever make it,
because as long as I'm on my own path
I'm always just where I ought to be.

Traveling on the road to nowhere
made up my mind I'm going to stay there
It's alright with me
Walking free.....

Chorus to fade
