Roads That Go Nowhere

Momma said nothing good happens after midnight

Truck full of buddies and a twelve pack of something light

Recipe for disaster right there

That's a road that goes nowhere

People say a six string's good for time to kill

But it don't buy a house and it don't pay the bills

If you don't get a job, don't cut your hair

That's a road that goes nowhere

But one got me to Music City

One got me a kiss from a pretty smile shotgun riding

Now she's wearing a left hand diamond

Some dead end didn't turn out wrong

Hell, there's some that I'm still on

But looking back at that rearview, man, I swear

I've gone pretty damn far on them roads that go nowhere

I've lost count of all of the breakdowns

Days that I swore that I oughta just turn around

But I guess somebody heard my prayers

Running down a road that goes nowhere

'Cause one got me to Music City

One got me a kiss from a pretty smile shotgun riding

Now she's wearing a left hand diamond

Some dead end didn't turn out wrong

Hell, there's some that I'm still on

But looking back at that rearview, man, I swear

I've gone pretty damn far on them roads that go nowhere

The ones less traveled

Watch that pothole, dirt, mud and gravel

Kind that you don't know where they lead

They tell me where I need to be

One got me to Music City

One got me a kiss from a pretty smile shotgun riding

Now she's wearing a left hand diamond

Some dead end didn't turn out wrong

Hell, there's some that I'm still on

But looking back at that rearview, man, I swear

I've gone pretty damn far on them roads that go nowhere

On them roads that go nowhere
