A MILLION MILES FROM NOWHERE

I’m a pushover baby, got a creampuff brain
I’m a long-gone daddy in the house of pain
What’s the matter with me? I just don’t know
A million miles from nowhere and nowhere to go

Down on the plain I seen locust and flood
Suns sinking low in skies of blood
I dreamed last night of faceless foes
A million miles from nowhere and nowhere to go

But you got a face I can’t forget
You’re smoking me like a cigarette
Let the bully winds bluster, let the bully winds blow
A million miles from nowhere and nowhere to go

Got hounds in my hall, corn in my cup
A still in the clearing that don’t let up
I’m lost to the world but I’m true to my code
A million miles from nowhere and nowhere to go

Been chained to the past, chained to the plow
Chained to my hopes, they’re behind me now
Nothing is true ‘less I say it’s so
A million miles from nowhere and nowhere to go

Ghost on the highway points a finger at me
Says behold I come for thee
But I’ll live forever if my brain don’t explode
A million miles from nowhere and nowhere to go

Got a bird that talks but she don’t fly
I cut her loose bye and bye
One for my baby, one for the road
A million miles from nowhere and nowhere to go
