I used to think that I was livin' big Bet my money on almost anythin' Time and time I got caught strugglin' Oh, I had plans, I had dreams! Now I had an open bar policy Spending time trying to numb the pain Lost my family just to gain a friend Oh, strange faces I didn't need I'm on a highway, ain't goin' no place Ain't got nowhere to run I think this deal is done Travelin', goin' nowhere fast My folks used to tell me, "Turner, stop and think! Don't waste your whole life doin' selfish things Hurtin' your loved ones just to get yourself a stir There comes a time when you gotta let it be! " I thank the Lord, He had his hands on me Not really thinkin' I had sunken deep I looked all around and I was standin' all alone I had dug myself a hole I'm on a highway, ain't goin' no place Ain't got nowhere to run I think this deal is done Travelin', goin' nowhere fast And I looked around and I was standin' all alone I had dug my, myself a hole I'm on a highway, ain't goin' no place Ain't got nowhere to run I think this deal is done Travelin', goin' nowhere fast I'm on a highway, a lonesome byway You know I don't know where to start With changes on my heart Travelin', goin' nowhere fast Travelin', goin' nowhere fast Travelin', goin' nowhere fast
