Nowhere, Baby

When I look back on my youth, it's no wonder that I'm here There's a path made for my footsteps, that finish line is near Though the years are passing quickly, I believe I'm on my way But a voice beneath the surface still manages to say I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere I made some money, made some friends, and some memories to hold Crossed the mountains and the valleys, fought the swelter and the cold From a different angle maybe, this adventure could seem grand But the one I miss too often is being there to hold your hand I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere I'm slowing down but I'm not Quitting, I'm looking hard and stepping back But I will finish what I started, I will keep my suitcase packed I'm just weary of the working, trading songs for fickle love And it's time I showed myself exactly what I am made of That's not a cop out, not a dream drop, not a close but no cigar And it's not glamour, it ain't fortune Sometimes it ain't anything but hard I'm not a robot, I'm a human I'm not built to bear the weight And I struggle with admitting when I need to walk away I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere Nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere, baby I'm getting nowhere
