[Verse 1]
I got to church just to go, the pastor's talking
But I don't know what he's saying
'Cause my mind's going in different places
My voice is shot from screaming lyrics no one cares to hear
Followed by applause from a crowd so insincere
And I'll check the boxes that you need
I'll cut my hair, get my degree
Have it all figured out by 23
And if I slip up, will the world come on crashing down?
Or will my momma's friends gossip to everyone in town?
[Chorus]
They're sayin, "That boy's going nowhere fast
He can't get his head out his ass
He's chasin' the devil, he's too high to realize his pipe drеam it ain't gonna last"
Well the voices gеt so damn loud
But I'm steady drownin' it out
If you're wonderin' where I'm at
You'll be happy to know that I'm going nowhere fast
[Verse 2]
Well I'll keep you close until you gotta leave, then I'll write a song
'Cause everything I learned from love told me doesn't last that long
And I'll rearrange my plans to follow what's on your agenda
And under-stay my welcome
'Cause I thought it would prevent an
Unwanted conversation from a family friend on Christmas
Well I'm lying to their face and they pretend they wanna listen
I got to church just to go, the pastor's talking
But I don't know what he's saying
'Cause my mind's going in different places
My voice is shot from screaming lyrics no one cares to hear
Followed by applause from a crowd so insincere
And I'll check the boxes that you need
I'll cut my hair, get my degree
Have it all figured out by 23
And if I slip up, will the world come on crashing down?
Or will my momma's friends gossip to everyone in town?
[Chorus]
They're sayin, "That boy's going nowhere fast
He can't get his head out his ass
He's chasin' the devil, he's too high to realize his pipe drеam it ain't gonna last"
Well the voices gеt so damn loud
But I'm steady drownin' it out
If you're wonderin' where I'm at
You'll be happy to know that I'm going nowhere fast
[Verse 2]
Well I'll keep you close until you gotta leave, then I'll write a song
'Cause everything I learned from love told me doesn't last that long
And I'll rearrange my plans to follow what's on your agenda

Unwanted conversation from a family friend on Christmas
