Lyrics

Road To Nowhere

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well we know where we're going

But we don't know where we've been

And we know what we're knowing

But we can't say what we've seen

And we're not little children

And we know what we want

And the future is certain

Give us time to work it out

We're on a road to nowhere

Come on inside

Takin' that ride to nowhere

We'll take that ride

I'm feeling okay this morning

And you know

We're on the road to paradise

Here we go, here we go

We're on a ride to nowhere

Come on inside

Takin' that ride to nowhere

We'll take that ride

Maybe you wonder where you are

I don't care

Here is where time is on our side

Take you there, take you there

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

There's a city in my mind

Come along and take that ride

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

And it's very far away

But it's growing day by day

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

Would you like to come along

You can help me sing this song

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

They can tell you what to do

But they'll make a fool of you

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

There's a city in my mind

Come along and take that ride

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

And it's very far away

But it's growing day by day

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

Would you like to come along

You can help me sing this song

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

They can tell you what to do

But they'll make a fool of you

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere
