Steve Goodman - The I Don't Know Where I'm Goin' But I'm Goin' Nowhere In A Hurry Blues lyrics

Miss Beverly Jones had a PhD in Physics And she went to town to look for some work Everyplace she applied they said that she was qualified To be a secretary or a clerk The word got out on the day she was born But she was twenty years getting the news And the "I don't know where I'm going But I'm going nowhere in a hurry" blues My friend Fred felt lucky last Tuesday And he took himself out to the track He was armed with a hot tip and a hundred dollar bill But that boy had to hitchhike back The horse that he bet on was leading all the way And then it threw off one of its shoes And got the "I don't know where I'm going But I'm going nowhere in a hurry" blues And it's I don't know where I'm going I do not know how long the journey will last And it's I don't know where I'm going The future's one big mirror of the past And I've been losing so long, that it looks just like winning Kick me again and I'll come up grinning All my time I've spent standing still Its the world that's spinnin' round so fast And it was on a Sunday morning About a hundred years ago The message came without a warning Though everybody'd told him so The last thing that General Custer said When he looked up and saw all the Sioux Was, "I don't know where I'm going But I'm going nowhere in a hurry too". A fatal dose of the "I don't know where I'm going But I'm going nowhere in a hurry" blues.
