Road to Nowhere

Her mother came and packed her bags

And drove her off to nowhere

And in the shadows of her second father's

Shoulder she just stood there

Cryin', she's cryin'

Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue

Like war-bound soldiers marchin'

And she ran from the truth like wounded

Men run from the darkness

When they're dyin', she's dyin'

And I told her I loved her

And she told me she's leavin'

Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in

And as she slammed the door and walked away

I turned on my radio, oh no

And I played her a dancin' song

Got her home

I had more faith in her

Than her mother had in Jesus

But like Judas she rebuked my name

For jewels and silver pieces

A wedding ring, a wedding ring

And in my darkest hour

Her eyes filled with desperation

Her words were sharp and her sword was swift

Lord, I have been forsaken

By my one true love, my one true love

And I told her I loved her

And she told me she's leavin'

Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in

And as she slammed the door and walked away

I turned on my radio, oh no

And I played her a dancin' song

Got her home

As I lie alone tonight

In the bed we built and once shared

I wonder where you are, who you're with

Do you think that he cares

About you, about you

Now I am not a godly man

My roots twisted and sinful

But to have you back I'd bow my head

And sing a Southern Baptist hymnal

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
