Nowhere USA

(album: Dirt - 2012)

The road was cold the fog was heavy
Her headlights were just like a ghost
She said you look innocent but I ain't crazy
I'm just too tired to drive on alone

If you don't want me to shoot ya
You'll keep both hands on that wheel
She was sweet with just enough poison
I wasn't sure just what to feel

[Chorus:]
So I drove her into a sunrise
In the middle of nowhere USA
And she slept peaceful as a baby
Once she put that .45 away

When she woke up we talked bout livin
Where she was goin, where I had been
I lit a smoke she talked bout Jesus
How he had power to raise the dead
We watched falling stars from her truckbed

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Chorus 2:]
And we parked neath the burnin sunrise
And I held her against my chest
She said I never would have shot ya
I said I know, your gun it had no lead.
