Somewhere Between Nashville and Nowhere
I left Nashville around a quarter to nine With a half-full tank and
a wandering mind My manager called,
said, "Where you gonna be?" I said,
"I'll let you know when I figure out me" Got a gas
station coffee and a cinnamon roll From a lady named June who
was eighty years old She said,
"Honey, where you headed?"
I said, "I really don't know"
I've spent half my life arriving
At places I couldn't wait to leave
Maybe there's something I've been missing
In the miles between
Somewhere between Nashville and nowhere
I finally got a little room to breathe
No one's waiting at the finish line
And that's alright with me
Got the windows down,
the radio loud And a sky that goes on forever
I don't know where I'm going tonight But I never felt better
Somewhere between Nashville and nowhere
Passed a little town with a one-screen show Bought a ticket just
to see how the story goes Sat beside a couple married forty-five
years Who still held hands when the ending appeared I used to
think I had to make every day count
Put a price on every hour,
wear myself out
Now I'm learning that a day can be good
Without anything to talk about
I've spent half my life in motion
Trying to get somewhere new
But sometimes all the road is asking
Is that I enjoy
the view
Somewhere between Nashville and nowhere I finally got a little room to
breathe
No one's waiting at the finish line And that's alright with me
Got the windows down,
the radio loud And a sky that goes on forever I don't
know where I'm going tonight But I never felt better
Maybe tomorrow I'll turn around
Maybe I'll keep driving west
For once I don't need an answer
To know that I've been blessed
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NASHVILLE AND NOWHERE I finally got a little room to
breathe
No one's waiting at the finish line And that's alright with me
Got the windows down,
the radio loud And a sky that goes on forever
I don't know where I'm going tonight But I never felt better
Somewhere between Nashville and nowhere
(smiling softly) I think I'll take the long way home
