Goin' Nowhere Fast

Written by Marty Stuart



There's just too much confusion, to get what's really going on



The truth is lying out there, and it's covered up in stone



I get a funny feeling that's been rolling 'round in me



I think it's time to tell you that it's time for me to leave



It's been fun, it has been a gas



But it's goin' nowhere fast



Somebody call my number and get me on the phone



Lately I've been talking to myself, when I had me all alone



Thinking I should start a fire and burn a bridge back into town



It must be time to go back home



'Cause I miss having me around



It's almost real, it could've been a blast



But it's goin' nowhere fast



I'm on a roll so I'll keep rolling



Gaining ground on my control



While I need someone to lean on, a tender hand to hold



As I scramble cross the beckon call of my own heart's command



I'll fade and disappear into a sea of sinking sand



Like a dark horse running from the past



I'm goin' nowhere fast



I'm a dark horse running through the past



I'm goin' nowhere fast
