American Aquarium - Road to Nowhere lyrics

Well her mother came and packed her bags
And drove her off to nowhere
In the shadows of her second father's
Shoulders she just stood there
Cryin', cryin'

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'

When I told her I loved her
She told me she's leavin'
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
And I played her a dancin'
Song to guide her home

I had more faith in her than
Her mother had in Jesus
But like Judas she rebuked my name
For jewels and silver pieces
A weddin' ring, a weddin' ring

And in my darkest hour
Her eyes filled with desperation
The words were sharp and her sword was swift
Lord I have been forsaken
By my one true love, my one true love

When I told her I loved her
She told me she's leavin'
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
And I played her a dancin'
Song to guide her home

And as I lie alone tonight in the
Bed we built and once shared
I wonder where 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 road's twisted and sinful
But to have you back
I'd bow my head and sing
A Southern Baptist hymnal
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
