Nowhere to Go, Nowhere to Be

Like an empty bottle washed up by the waves

Like an old scooner slippin' slowly to its grave

Like ghosts of old sailors caught somewhere in time

Like a lone palm, let's watch the world unwind.



Chorus:

I got nowhere to go, nowhere to be

Trinidad Charlie on a stool next to me

Readin' his book about the have and have nots

And in between chapters we take another shot

And one by one we slide from reality

With nowhere to go and nowhere to be.



There's jerk chicken grillin' on a grill

Sure feels good for some time to be still

Even if it's only for a little while

The sight of the sails and the wind make me smile.



Chorus:

When I got nowhere to go, nowhere to be

Trinidad Charlie on a stool next to me

Readin' his book about the have and have nots

And in between chapters we take another shot

And one by one we slide from reality

With nowhere to go and nowhere to be.



Days turn into nights

When you're stuck in still life.

And you got.



Chorus:

And you got nowhere to go, nowhere to be

Trinidad Charlie on a stool next to me

Readin' his book about the have and have nots

And in between chapters we take another shot

And one by one we slide from reality

With nowhere to go and nowhere to be...
