Nowhere Fast

Song Nowhere Fast
Artist The Warren Brothers
Album Beautiful Day In The Cold Cruel World

Lyrics

I grew up here on
Bourbon Street
Playin' for the beer and tips
Livin' by the
Poncha Train
Watchin' drunks and sailin' ships
Now I'm sittin' on a midnight train
Gonna bury momma on my birthday
And never's gonna be too soon
To see these streets of
Vieux Carré
Thirty years ago
Momma was a pretty bride
She took this train to
New Orleans
Made a mask for
Mardi Gras and never took it off it seems
Daddy drank away their honeymoon
He never wore his wedding band
They fought just like a hurricane
But she fell in love with
Dixieland
CHORUS: Now
I'm on a train to nowhere to find the future in my past
I'm on a train to nowhere
Feelin' like a no one
How long will this last?
Goin' nowhere fast
Nine months later to the day she labored deep into the night
I was the baby in her arms
And she was weakened by the fight
I grew up fast
I grew up hard
The alleyways were my backyard
Momma sang at
Pat O'Riley's
And I sat in with the band on
Fridays CH
ORUS Tonight we'll cross the
Mason-Dixon line
Finally takin'
Momma home
She will find a restin' place beneath the garden made of stone
And I came here to find tomorrow
Now I hear my station name
If I can just forget my past maybe
I can start again
CHORUS: Now
I'm on a train to nowhere to find the future in my past
I'm on a train to nowhere but this trip will be my last
Yeah if I can just get goin' and get myself on track off this train to nowhere
It's goin' nowhere fast
