Nowhere Fast
It's hard to drive forward
Looking in the rear view mirror
I'm driving really fast
To get away from here
When did my life become
A country song cliche
Should I pick up a guitar
To sing my blues away
If I had me a dog
It would leave me real soon
The Worlds driving me crazy
A perpetual full moon
Feelings of confusion
Several forks in the road
It's tough to keep going
Under a heavy load
That girl called to Jesus
Asked him to take the wheel
I really do get it
It finally seems so real
No more looking backwards
I hum too a different beat
Life is a lot less stressful
I like the passenger seat
I know my destination
Will be where I need to go
I was going nowhere fast
Jesus says let's take it slow
