Rollin’ Nowhere

Rollin' nowhere, flashing signs
Passing shadows, bitter wine
Rollin' nowhere, now I find
My heart's a lonesome line

Down by the muddy river
In a jungle with no name
Let the smoke rise from the fire
Let the story fan the flame
In a burnin' need for rollin'
'Til the world looks all the same
Rollin' nowhere

Let my mind be free of questions
Let my heart be free of fears
Let my eyes see only motion
Let a day become a year
In a blur of rollin' nowhere
'Til I'm way out in the clear
Rollin' nowhere

Every tramp will soon discover
With the dawning of the light
You can't stay in the mission
If you don't know wrong from right
So you keep on movin' faster
Leave your conscience out of sight
A barber can't make a livin'
Off a man who won't be shaved
Preacher can't make a livin'
Off a man who won't be saved
He might accept your welfare
But he'll run right over your grave
Rollin' nowhere
