Michael McGuire Know Where
I’ve got nowhere to go so I could never leave you, but you have to lie
just to get people to believe you, I once knew a man I was in love with
his wife, he said everyone’s a coward some fear death some fear life,
my head was a mess and you know he tuned it, he said don’t worry
about the walking dead but beware the walking wounded, he is long
since gone while I still pursue, I usually find me now when I look for
you.
Even nowhere is some where, but I don’t know where, and the things
that matter don’t matter, and I don’t care.
You’ve been around the world I’ve never left the state, your faith it
kept you going but you got done in by your fate, yeah the things you
don’t do can kill you just as quick as the things you do, you were
always feeling red when I was feeling blue, I remember the night we
laughed and drank yo your health, but all we really did is waste a lot of
time and wealth, how could someone who knows so much still not
learn a thing, but even when we don’t know the song we still like to
sing.
Even nowhere is some where, but I don’t know where, and the things
that matter don’t matter, and I don’t care.
We’d drink and laugh all night long and in the early morning we’d
weep, reality is hard nails and a bed of stone for sleep, I thought if I
kept moving I’d never have to look back, I’d brag about what I had so I
wouldn’t notice what I lacked, you’ve got to reach deep within to find
that shallow place, you might not feel it in your heart but see it in your
face, somewhere those lost words still echo thru this night, and
somewhere there’s a place where the darkness gives way to the light.
Even nowhere is some where, but I don’t know where, and the things
that matter don’t matter, and I don’t care.
But it’s worth hanging around these dives just to hear the stories they
tell, about the sinner who walked thru heaven and the saint who put
himself thru hell, we use to say now or never and we didn’t do nothing
then, now always gives you another chance and never is always when,
we’d always say if worse comes to worst like it always seems to do,
that you would do your best for me and me the same for you, we
always thought it didn’t matter where you were as long as you know
where you are, but I don’t know if we didn’t go far enough or if we
went to far.
But like I said I couldn’t leave I’ve got nowhere to go, but still I don’t
know where were going and I don’t really want to know where.
