Just South of Nowhere

I'm just south of nowhere
Straight back, far away, a long ways from here

And meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids
I'm just south of nowhere
And meet me out past the muddy ditch beneath the Palosverdes trees
Straight back, far away, a long ways from here
Full of half assed-promises, this shit just ain't for me
My head aches from cigarettes, my eyes are edged with sleep
Monday morning, takes me back to where I have to be
Thirty miles of potholed roads, got me shaking like a drunk
Straight back, far away, a long ways from here

Oh, I'm just south of nowhere
I'm just south of nowhere
Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
Static on the radio gave out five miles back

This car, I'm driving can't drive me fast enough
And I'm singing some old Marshals song just for laughs
