lyrics

NOWHERE LAND

I got a letter from a friend of mine
It said - my life has turned around
I used to drive a cab downtown
But now Uber closed me down

I’m on a US highway driving west
In a second-hand RV with nothing left
Just a road map so I can find
The promised land that let us down

Last night all the sleep I got
Was in a Walmart parking lot
Where is the dream that I was sold?
Maybe further down the road

Midnight’s drawing closer
stars are falling in my hand
I make a wish for something better
and hope to understand
this Nowhere Land

There used to be a last frontier
Now there’s no way out of here
Drifters, hobos, and restless souls
I guess I’m one of the unknown

There’s a crack in everything
But there’s no light getting in
Just darkness on the edge of town
I had it all and now it’s gone

Midnight’s drawing closer…

All-night diners and big-box stores
There’s gotta be something more
Then fast food joints and shopping malls
To really satisfy us all

His letter ends as it began
All alone in a camper van
Overnight shifts at Amazon
To make ends meet and move on
