You save up your money boy, bought you some shoes   The highway's calling you and she's   Just when you thought you had it beat   But now you're leaving town on a one-way street.      Chorus:   It's a hard, hard lesson   But you're gonna have to learn it   It's a long cold swim up against the current   And somewhere down the line   You're gonna have to turn it, around   'Cause boy right now you're nowhere bound.      Her words still echo through your mind   But fade away as you cross the county line   Running from trouble or from the truth   It doesn't matter either way you lose.      Chorus:   It's a hard, hard lesson   But you're gonna have to learn it   It's a long cold swim up against the current   And somewhere down the line   You're gonna have to turn it, around   'Cause boy right now you're nowhere bound.      --- Instrumental ---      Well, you walk ten miles just to make new tracks   But you turn around and find that it's twenty miles back   And it's never gonna change it you keep leaving   Your heart's gonna break, but never break even.      Where to now, do you know?   One thing's for certain   Gonna reap just what you sow   And all you planted was heartache and pain   Don't look now but it looks like rain.      Chorus:   It's a hard, hard lesson   But you're gonna have to learn it   It's a long cold swim up against the current   And somewhere down the line   You're gonna have to turn it, around   'Cause boy right now you're nowhere bound.      Nowhere bound      Nowhere bound...
