Just the Other Side of Nowhere
I come from just the other side of nowhere
To this big time lonesome town
They got a lot of ice and snow here
Half as cold as all the people I've found
Every way I try to go here seems to bring me down
I've seen about enough to know where I belong
I've got a mind to see the headlights
Shinin' on that old white line
Between my heart and home
Sick of spendin' Sundays
Wishin' they were Mondays
Sittin' in a park alone
So give my best to anyone who's left
Who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong
Tell them that the pride
Of just the other side of nowhere's goin' home
Tell them that the pride
Of just the other side of nowhere's goin' home
Takin' nothin' back to show here for these dues I've paid
But the soul I almost sold here and the body I've been givin' away
Fadin' from the neon nighttime glow here, headin' for the light of day
Just the other side of nowhere, goin' home
I've got a mind to see the headlights
Shinin' on that old white line
Between my heart and home
Sick of spendin' Sundays
Wishin' they were Mondays
Sittin' in a park alone
So give my best to anyone who's left
Who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong
Tell them that the pride
Of just the other side of nowhere's goin' home
Tell them that the pride
Of just the other side of nowhere's goin' home
