Nowhere Fast - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

There’s a skyline city buried in my mind, traces of a man long left behind

I swear I haven’t changed, but some think I might

I swear I haven’t changed it ain’t a matter of time

I thought moving on to something new to fill my time

But again, I’m just as empty as a bottle of wine

Oh Lord, I can’t erase what’s wired in my mind

Dove in deep, to cut in my roots

Just prayin' to the Lord I’ll find my truth

But right now, right here, don’t feel like anywhere

Through these days that beat my ass

And learning you just can’t get nowhere fast

But somеhow, someday I know I’ll make it therе

Somehow, someday I know I’ll make it there

There’s a drop-dead smile and a beautiful mind

That I traded for a dollar and a couple of lines

I sing every night, but it still just ain’t right

I remember holding hope in the stinging cold

Said I'd make a little money and move on home

But we both know that it just won’t go that way

Yeah, we both know that it just won’t go that way

Dove in deep, to cut in my roots

Just prayin' to the Lord I’ll find my truth

But right now, right here, don’t feel like anywhere

Through these days that beat my ass

And learning you just can’t get nowhere fast

But somehow, someday I know I’ll make it there

I know I'll make it there

Lord I know I'll make it there

There’s a skyline city buried in my mind of traces of a man long left behind

I swear I haven’t changed, but some think I might

I swear I haven’t changed, and it ain’t a matter of time
