I come from just the other side of nowhere,
to this big time lonesome town,
they got a lotta of ice an' snow here,
ain't half as cold as all the people I've found.
Everywhere I try to go here,
somebody's always trying to bring me down,
I've seen about enough to know where I'll be bound.
I've got a mind to see the headlights shinin' on that old white
line between my heart and home,
sick of spendin' Sundays, wishin' they were Mondays,
sittin' in a park alone.
Give my best to anyone who's left, who's ever done me
any lovin' way but wrong,
and tell them that's the pride of just the other side
of nowhere's goin' home.
Takin' nothing back to show there,
for these dues that I've paid,
but the soul I almost sold here,
and the body I've been givin' away.
Fadin' from the neon nightime glow here,
headin' for the light of day,
just the other side of nowhere, goin' home.
