Nowhere Blues
Malvina Reynolds
Got me a new bus, Baby, goes with the speed of light,
Got me a new bus, Baby, goes with the speed of light,
Getting nowhere, Baby, cause there's no goal in sight.
Got me a new bus, Baby, goes with the speed of sound,
Got me a new bus, Baby, goes with the speed of sound,
Getting nowhere, Baby, cause I'm nowhere bound.
The needle reads a hundred, the needle reads a hundred and ten,
The needle reads a hundred, the needle reads a hundred and ten,
When you get there, Baby, you come right back again.
Cars on the freeway go like a handicap race,
Cars on the freeway go like a handicap race,
When I get where I'm going, I wish I was some other place.
Feel so lonesome, don't know what to do,
Feel so lonesome, don't know what to do,
Going to get me a car that can find the way to you.
Going to get me a car that will stop right by your door,
Going to get me a car that will stop right by your door,
Run to your house, then it won't run any more.
