Lyrics Road To Nowhere - American Aquarium

Road To Nowhere

Well her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to
nowhere
and in the shadows of her second fathers shoulders
she just stood there, crying, crying
then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war bound soldiers marchin'
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 leaving
just like every other person in my life that I believed in
and as she slammed the door and walked away
I turned on my radio, oh no
And I played her a dancing song to guide her home
And 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 had been forsaken
By my one true love, my one true love
and I told her I loved her, she told me she’s leaving
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 dancing song to guide her home
and as I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared
I wonder where you are and who you’re with, do you think that he cares
About you, about you
Naw
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
