Lonely Road Nowhere

I've known it for quite some time they're gonna come
save me put me in the schools to learn to be just like
them to drive a steady life investments and a job to
choose my own path picked for me when all I wanted
was my own novelty I fought them all for the lonely
road nowhere for the right to something I can call
my own in the end the distance that I've covered stretches
miles even overseas playing to the sound of my own
beat even breaking my own empty promises they seldom
ever call but I see them now and then always asking
me if I need anything yeah all I want is a ride downtown
I fought them all I don't need none of them the lonely
road to nowhere is my own in the end well now they're
holding me so I can see that condescending look at
me that pointed finger saying I told you so your luck
has run out with nothing to show but pocket change
from your coming of age old stories of the lonely road to nowhere
