Roads That Go Nowhere

Mama said nothin' good happens after midnight
Truck full of buddies and a 12-pack of somethin' light
Recipe for disaster right there
That's a road that goes nowhere
People said a six string's good for time to kill
But it don't buy a house and it don't pay pills
Don't get a job, don't cut your hair
That's a road that goes nowhere

But one got me to Music City
One got me a kiss from a pretty
Smile shotgun ridin'
Now she's wearing a left-hand diamond
Some dead-ended and turned out wrong
Hell, there's some that I'm still on
But lookin' back at that rearview, man, I swear
I've gone pretty damn far on them roads that go nowhere

I've lost count of all of the break down
Days that I swore I oughta just turn around
But I guess somebody heard my prayers
Runnin' down a road that goes nowhere

'Cause one got me to Music City
One got me a kiss from a pretty
Smile shotgun ridin'
Now she's wearing a left-hand diamond
Some dead-ended and turned out wrong
Hell, there's some that I'm still on
But lookin' back at that rearview, man, I swear
I've gone pretty damn far on them roads that go nowhere

The ones less traveled
Washed-out pothole, dirt, mud, and gravel
Kind that you don't know where they lead
They took me where I need to be

One got me to Music City
One got me a kiss from a pretty
Smile shotgun ridin'
Now she's wearing a left-hand diamond
Some dead-ended and turned out wrong
Hell, there's some that I'm still on
But lookin' back at that rearview, man, I swear
I've gone pretty damn far on them roads that go nowhere

On them roads that go nowhere
