Song | Nowhere Fast |
Artist | The Warren Brothers |
Album | Beautiful Day In The Cold Cruel World |
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 |
I grew up here on | |
Bourbon Street | |
Playin' for the beer and tips | |
Livin' by the | |
