Well I moved up to the city thinkin I would make a splash
Had myself some good times but somehow they didn't last
For every step forward I keep takin two steps back
So this is what it means to be going nowhere fast
Well the landlord came knocking, said I had to pack my things
Cause I haven't paid the rent since the first day I moved in
Now I'm building me a new place underneath the overpass
So this is what it means to be going nowhere fast
Cw this is what it means to be going nowhere fast
Well my friend said ""California
That might be the place for you
But I think that I should warn ya
There's lots of nowhere out there too""
Well I finally hit the lotto and I got myself some spending cash
I bought a '57 Fairlane filled that baby up with gas
Now I'm flying down the highway trying to outrun the past
So this is what it means to be going nowhere fast
So this is what it means to be going nowhere fast
So this is what it means to be going nowhere fast
