"Nowhere Fast" lyrics

I've been workin' with my own two hands
Since my daddy taught me how
Rose up from Missouri mud
Never had time to cry about
How this world ain't fair
When you're born way out here
Makes you wanna disappear

Honey, if ya wanna hop
In this beat up truck
You better buckle up

'Cause life ain't easy on these roads
I-49 takes its toll
I'm from the sticks, but you want a stone
You're an angel, I'm chasing ghosts
A love like this ain't meant to last
You can call my ex-girlfriend and ask
You're living in the future, I'm in the past
We're going nowhere fast

You've been dreaming of a long, white gown
Since your momma taught you how
To dress up, spin around
Think about a pretty fenced-in house
All I've ever known is leaving
I'm burnt out, I'm barely breathing
I'm just trying to break even

'Cause life ain't easy on these roads
I-49 takes its toll
I'm from the sticks, but you want a stone
You're an angel, I'm chasing ghosts
A love like this ain't meant to last
You can call my ex-girlfriend and ask
You're living in the future, I'm in the past
We're going nowhere fast
Going nowhere fast

'Cause life ain't easy on these roads
I-49 takes its toll
I'm from the sticks, but you want a stone
You're an angel, I'm chasing ghosts
A love like this ain't meant to last
You can call my ex-girlfriend and ask
You're living in the future, I'm in the past
We're going nowhere fast
We're going nowhere fast
