Standing Next To The Nowhere Sign

Sorry, baby, if I'm all worn out
most days I just drive you crazy
never knowing what I really want
just trying to get through the day, you see?
I can't be counted on
I've been running
trying to find time
to be a poet in a one horse town
standing next to the nowhere sign.

Things got funny to me
in the life I left behind
Couldn't trust my company
I was proud the day I resigned
and there were threats and pointed words
from people who were never on my side
just standing around making me bleed
I bet they would have cheered if I'd died.

'Cause I've got no company
except you and a few I miss
old friends keep drifting by
can't tell them why I'm down like this
I'm sworn to secrecy
and to have a lot on my mind
all the good times are making me sad
if they think they've got me they're blind.

Baby, just take care of me
Someday I'll be out from under the weather
my heart will be set free
and I know I'm going to treat you better
just bear with me through the trails
while the greed gets down to the wire
you'll see how much music costs
when life is being run by liars.
