"Nowhere, Baby" lyrics

"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 gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' 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 gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere

I'm slowing down, but I'm not quittin', I'm looking hard and steppin' back
But I will finish what I started, I will keep my suitcase packed
I'm just weary of the work and trading songs for fickle love
And it's time I showed myself exactly what I am made of
And 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 gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere

Nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere
Nowhere, baby (I ain't gettin' nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Ain't getting nowhere)
Nowhere, baby (I ain't gettin' nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby
