[Verse 1]
When I look back on my youth, it's no wonder that I'm here
There's a path made for my footsteps, that finish line is near
Though the years are passing quickly, I believe I'm on my way
But a voice beneath the surface still manages to say
[Chorus]
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere
[Verse 2]
I made some money, made some friends and some memories to hold
Crossed the mountains and the valleys, fought the swelter and the cold
From a different angle maybe this adventure could seem grand
But the one I miss too often is being there to hold your hand
[Chorus]
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere
[Verse 3]
I'm slowing down, but I'm not quittin', I'm looking hard and steppin' back
But I will finish what I started, I will keep my suitcase packed
I'm just weary of the work and trading songs for fickle love
And it's time I showed myself exactly what I am made of
And that's not a cop out, not a dream drop, not a "Close, but no cigar"
And it's not glamour, it ain't fortune, sometimes it ain't anything but hard
I'm not a robot, I'm a human, I'm not built to bear the weight
And I struggle with admitting when I need to walk away
When I look back on my youth, it's no wonder that I'm here
There's a path made for my footsteps, that finish line is near
Though the years are passing quickly, I believe I'm on my way
But a voice beneath the surface still manages to say
[Chorus]
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere
[Verse 2]
I made some money, made some friends and some memories to hold
Crossed the mountains and the valleys, fought the swelter and the cold
From a different angle maybe this adventure could seem grand
But the one I miss too often is being there to hold your hand
[Chorus]
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere)
I'm gettin' nowhere, baby (Nowhere, baby)
I'm gettin' nowhere
[Verse 3]
I'm slowing down, but I'm not quittin', I'm looking hard and steppin' back
But I will finish what I started, I will keep my suitcase packed
I'm just weary of the work and trading songs for fickle love
And it's time I showed myself exactly what I am made of
And that's not a cop out, not a dream drop, not a "Close, but no cigar"
And it's not glamour, it ain't fortune, sometimes it ain't anything but hard
I'm not a robot, I'm a human, I'm not built to bear the weight
And I struggle with admitting when I need to walk away
