When I was a boy
|
I went running off to school
|
Went home every evening
|
Like there was nothing else to do
|
|
One night I looked out my window
|
And while the moon was racing past
|
I sat up there and wondered
|
Am I goin' nowhere fast?
|
|
I see the telephone post
|
I watch a sparrow fly
|
And all the lonely souls know
|
But I just drive on by
|
|
And I think of all the dreams there
|
That never came to pass
|
And I can't help but wonder
|
Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?
|
Nowhere fast
|
|
And I don't have an answer
|
And I don't have a clue
|
Why people act so crazy
|
But I guess I'm crazy too
|
A little bit crazy too
|
|
I watch my baby sleeping
|
It's been a long hard day
|
And she looks so peaceful
|
Lost in the faraway
|
|
Sometimes I just wanna hold her
|
And make one moment last
|
But all I do is wonder
|
Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?
|
Nowhere fast
|
|
Nowhere
|
Are we goin' nowhere fast?
|
|
