I keep walking down this dusty trail
I know what lies below my feet
I can’t tell you how I long to tell my tale
I know what sky would greet

I have found the road to nowhere
I know it better than I know myself
There’s a time when I could feel there
And there’s an end I long for myself

I could swim a thousand miles
But I could dream a thousand more
I can’t tell you what I want for my child
I just know it can’t be the distance shore

I have found the road to nowhere
I have found the answer’s prayer
I have listened to the morning stare
I have listened to the neighing mare

There’s a far away home that I knew
There’s a nearby alley where I stay
And I know there’s something new
And I know there’s some way

I have found the road to nowhere
I keep listening to hear them call me back
I know that there’s something somewhere
I keep listening for them to call me back

The dusty trail goes on for a long while
Nothing more than a pick and prize
Nothing more I could give to my child
Nothing else floating before my eyes

I have found the road to nowhere
It began that lonely night
And I was scared to open the glare
For I shook the bed in fright

But now, along my distant highway
There’s a trail I’d rather take
And I know that I’ll do it my way
Because I can’t remember what’s a stake

I have found the road to nowhere
I know it better than I know myself
I keep listening for your share
But I can’t remember myself

I have found the road to nowhere
Under my feet all along
I thought that night had taken me there
But I know you were here and strong

I have found the road to nowhere
I know it better than I know myself
There’s a time when I could feel there
And there’s an end I long for myself
