Story Behind The Song

Not so much a place ... As a state of mind ... And a state of grace he's looking for ... And setting out to find ...And I cannot but help somehow ...To tell you in a rhyme ... Do you think that I can keep this up ...Until the very last line? ...And th

Getting free of the the things that hold you back in life

Lyrics

Nowhere Town

Don?t stop me now, ?cos I?m running on time
For the first time in my life it?s all falling into line
Got my sleeves rolled up, ?cos it?s time to get down
Gotta dig right in, to dig my way out
Dig my right out of here in Nowhere Town
Gotta get out from under Nowhere Town

Lord if I?m ever gonna turn my life around
Gotta get myself out of Nowhere Town
?Bin runnin? round in circles. Goin? round and round
But now time is runnin? out for me in Nowhere Town

I know I don?t belong. My heart is homeward bound
I?ll follow it some day right out of Nowhere Town
Yeh my heart it don?t belong. Already gone it?s somewhere down
Far along the road away from Nowhere Town

Nowhere Town. Nowhere Town
Gotta get out

And when this bird it flies, nothin?ll bring it down
Till it?s a hundred mile outta Nowhere Town
Claimin? all my dreams back from the lost and found
And I?m taking them all with me out of Nowhere Town

Yeah I?m leavin? here real soon and I?m never turning round
Never comin? back again to Nowhere Town
?If I leave it till too late Gonna be six feet down
?For my soul shakes off this dirt and dust of Nowhere Town

Nowhere Town. Nowhere Town
Nowhere Town. Nowhere Town
Gotta get out

The seed you sow wont grow. Someone always saying ?No?.
No ways to go, but down.
The days are runnin? slow. Down a drain you watch?em go.
That?s when you know you?re in Nowhere Town
Gotta get out. Gotta get out
Gotta get out from under Nowhere Town

Lord if I?m ever gonna turn my life around
Gotta get myself out of Nowhere Town
?Cos if I leave it till too late Gonna be six feet down
Before my soul shakes off this dirt and dust of Nowhere Town

The seed you sow wont grow. Someone?s always saying ?No?.
No ways to go, but down.
The days are runnin? slow. Watch?em go!
That?s when you know you?re in a Nowhere Town
Gotta get out Gotta get out
Gotta get out from under Nowhere
Gotta get out Gotta get out
Gotta get out from under Nowhere
Gotta get out Gotta get out
Gotta get out from under Nowhere

Town. Nowhere Town
Nowhere Town. Nowhere Town
