{verse 1}
He's got eyes that'll lead you to water
But i wound up on an old dirt road
And i woke up in the valley of the shadow of death
Without a truth to call my own
{chorus}
So how did i wind up here?
How did i get so far?
How did i really get nowhere at all?
And everyone else will tell me the truth
But john lies and there's nothing i can do, oooh, oooh, oo-oo-oo-oh
{verse 2}
He ain't got no conscience or no right from the wrong
There ain't no voice in his he-e-ead
And if he really loved her thеn why would he be
Lying herе in my be-e-ed?
{chorus}
So how did i wind up here?
How did i get so far?
How did i really get nowhere at all?
And everyone else will tell me the truth
But john lies and there's nothing i can do, oooh, oooh, oo-oo-oo-oh
{bridge}
And i'm really just as pathetic as him
For letting him string me alo-o-ong
And i can admit i'm a liar too
For telling myself that this ain't wro-o-o-ong
{chorus}
So how did i wind up here?
How did i get so far?
How did i really get nowhere at all?
And everyone else will tell me the truth
But john li-i-ies and there's nothing i can do, oooh, oooh, oo-oo-oo-oh
{outro}
He's got eyes that'll lead you to water
But i wound up on an old dirt ro-o-oad
