[Verse 1]
He's down a dead-end road and he don't know where
The right front tire is gonna need some air
And up around the bend, there's just a two-pump place
So he pulls in to get his bearings straight
And he thumbs back through his life
The pages cut just like a knife
One by one, he tears 'em out
How he got this lost, he don't know how
[Chorus]
In a nowhere town with a nowhere name
He's nowhere close to where he came from
Dead sure no one's to blame, he's just off the map again
[Verse 2]
Well it starts to rain, he's gonna wait it out
He's gonna rest his eyes, he's gonna face his doubts
And he pours a drink in a paper cup
He goes to sleep and he don't wake up
[Chorus]
In a nowhere town with a nowhere name
He's nowhere close to where he came from
Dead sure no one's to blame, he's just off the map again
In a nowhere town with a nowhere name
He's nowhere close to where he came from
Dead sure no one's to blame, he's just off the map again
