lyrics

Well, my job had me down/in a farmin’ town/seemed like nowhere to me. Got to wonderin’ about/how this town/ever came to be. Well, it seemed like a place/to settle down/and raise your family. Where the people grin/and they don’t pretend/and they say what the mean. Round here things are slow/when all you know is that fast city life. In a nowhere town/you know things close down/before the stars begin to shine. And they work when it’s light/and sleep when it’s night/get up early and they don’t complain. Where the people grin/and they don’t pretend/and they call you by your name. Well my days are full/and I get pulled/every which way but loose. Chasin’ the clock/never affordin’ to stop/to loosin’ the noose. But in this town/you can forget about time/and who’s better than who. Where the people grin/and they don’t pretend/and they’re mighty kind to you. Well, I got to dreamin’ about/getting’ out/tryin’ my luck/in a nowhere town. Findin’ a farm/with a big red barn/and livin’ off the land. Well, it seemed like a place/to settle down/and learn to breathe again. Where the people grin/and they don’t pretend/and they treat ya like one of them. Now whether it’s right/you know I just might/whether I can/I might have found/where I can grin/and not pretend/where I can grin without thinkin’…. Yeah, whether it’s right, you know I just might/whether I can, I might have found/if I could, you know I would/whether I will, I can still…dream/’bout livin’ down…in Nowhere Town/Nowhere Town/Nowhere Town/Nowhere Town…….living down, in Nowhere Town.
