Lonely Road Nowhere lyrics

I`ve known it for quite some time they`re gonna come save me put me in the schools to learn to be just like them to drive a steady life investments and a job to choose my own path picked for me when all I wanted was my own novelty I fought them all for the lonely road nowhere for the right to something I can call my own in the end the distance that I`ve covered stretches miles even overseas playing to the sound of my own beat even breaking my own empty promises they seldom ever call but I see them now and then always asking me if I need anything yeah all I want is a ride downtown I fought them all I don`t need none of them the lonely road to nowhere is my own in the end well now they`re holding me so I can see that condescending look at me that pointed finger saying I told you so your luck has run out with nothing to show but pocket change from your coming of age old stories of the lonely road to nowhere
