Can't Seem to Get Nowhere

(Bob McDill)



Here I am a livin' fast, smokin' Lucky's and talkin' trash

Hangin' out on a barroom stool actin' like a fool

Out of work and out of luck stay out late and I drink too much

You see my face all over town I ought to settle down.



Yes, I guess I must confess

Look at me, my life's a mess

Just like a rockin' chair

I can't seem to get nowhere.



All my friends are married now guess I missed the boat somehow

They all moved away last year but I'm still here

Talkin' big and wastin' time I tell the girls I'm twenty-nine

But lately I think it shows I'm gettin' old.



Yes, I guess I must confess

Look at me, my life's a mess

Just like a rockin' chair

I can't seem to get nowhere.

Yes, I guess I must confess

Look at me, my life's a mess

Just like a rockin' chair

I can't seem to get nowhere...



Here I am a livin' fast, smokin' Lucky's and talkin' trash

Hangin' out on a barroom stool actin' like a fool

Out of work and out of luck stay out late and I drink too much

You see my face all over town I ought to settle down...
