You save up your money boy

Bought you some shoes

The highway's calling you and her's coat

And when you thought you had it beat

But now you're leaving

Town on a one way street

It's a hard

Hard lesson

But you're gonna have to learn it

It's a long cold swim up

Against the current

And somewhere down the line

You're gonna have to turn it around

'Cause boy right now

You're nowhere bound

Her words still echo

Through your mind

But fade away as you cross the county line

Running from trouble or from the truth

It doesn't matter either way you lose

It's a hard

Hard lesson

But you're gonna have to learn it

It's a long cold swim up

Against the current

And somewhere down the line

You're gonna have to turn it

Around

'Cause boy right now

You're nowhere bound

Well you walk ten miles

Just to make new tracks

But you turn around and

Find that it's twenty miles back

And it's never gonna

Change it you keep leaving

Your heart's gonna break

But never break even

Where to now

Do you know

One thing's for certain

Gonna reap just what you sow

And all you planted

Was heartache and pain

Don't look now but it looks like rain

It's a hard

Hard lesson

But you're gonna have to learn it

It's a long cold swim up

Against the current

And somewhere down the line

You're gonna have to turn it around

'Cause boy right now

You're nowhere bound

Nowhere bound

Nowhere bound
