American Aquarium - Road to Nowhere lyrics

Well, her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to nowhere And in the shadows of her second fathers shoulders she just stood there Crying, crying Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war bound soldiers marchin' She ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness When they're dyin', she's dyin' And I told her I loved her and she told me she's leaving Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in And as she slammed the door and walked away I turned on my radio, oh no And I played her a dancing song to guide her home And I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus But like Judas she rebuked my name for j**els and silver pieces A wedding ring, a wedding ring And in my darkest hour her eyes filled with desperation Her words were sharp and her sword was swift Lord, I had been forsaken By my one true love, my one true love And I told her I loved her, she told me she's leaving Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in And as she slammed the door and walked away I turned on my radio, oh no And I played her a dancing song to guide her home And as I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared I wonder where you are and who you're with, do you think that he cares About you, about you, naw Now I am not a godly man my roads twisted and sinful But to have you back I'd bow my head and sing a southern Baptist hymnal Hallelujah, hallelujah
