Nowhere To Go lyrics

Sittin' alone in the dark,

Wastin' my time in a park

'Cause I've got nowhere to go

Had me a job 'til the market fell out

I tried hard to borrow but there was no help

Now I've got nowhere to go

I need a job for these two hands

I'm a workin' man

With nowhere to go

One last look at my land

Auctioneer with his gavel in hand

And he says "It's got to go."

Worked this piece all my life

It broke my heart and it took my wife

Now I've got nothin' to show

I need a job for these two hands

I'm a workin' man

With nowhere to go

Wandered aimless in the city

With my dirt workin' boots and my old straw hat in hand

Singin' a song by Woody Guthrie

"This Land Is Your Land"

Well, it ain't my land

I'm a workin' man, with nowhere to go

I was born to the sunrise

Breakin' back all day

Now I've got somethin' to say

I am broke but not broken

And I am not alone

'Cause there's a lot of folks

With nowhere to go

Are they ever gonna understand?

You can't leave a workin' man

With nowhere to go

Are they ever gonna understand?

You can't leave a workin' man

With nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go...
