Road To Nowhere

(album: The Bible & The Bottle - 2008)

Well her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to nowhere
In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there
Crying, crying

Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war-bound soldiers marching
She ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness
When they're dying, she's dying

When I told her I loved her, she told me she's leaving
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in
And as she slammed the door and walked away, I turned on my radio
And I played her a dancing song to guide her home

I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus
But like Judas she rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces
A wedding ring, a wedding ring

And in my darkest hour, her eyes filled with desperation
The words were sharp and her sword was swift, Lord I have been forsaken
By my one true love, my one true love

When I told her I loved her, she told me she's leaving
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in
And as she slammed the door and walked away, I turned on my radio
And I played her a dancing song to guide her home

And as I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared
I wonder where where you are and who you're with, Do you think that he cares
About you, about you? (Naw)

Now I am not a godly man, my road's twisted and sinful
But to have you back, I'd bow my head and sing a Southern Baptist hymnal
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
