Lyrics
I'm From Nowhere
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff
She was sittin' in a diner
Waiting for her coffee to come
He sits down beside her
And he asks her where she's from
She looks at him and wonders
Does he really want an answer?
She says my dad was in the Navy
And every few years we got transferred
Chorus:
I'm from nowhere, I'm from anywhere
I'm from nowhere, I don't really care
I've spent most of my life, movin' around
Can't say I have a hometown
I'm from nowhere, I'm from anywhere
I'm from nowhere, I'm from anywhere
Never had a best friend
'Cause I knew we'd only move away
Three years near Annapolis
Was the longest that we stayed
I go wherever I find, I can make a living
My father's gone, I visit Mom
On Christmas and Thanksgiving
(Repeat Chorus)
They talked all through the night time
'Til they saw the morning sun
He said, somehow when I saw you
I just knew you were the one
But he was leaving in the morning
With a load bound for Lafayette
She puts her head upon his shoulder
Says I hardly know you yet
He tells her of a life spent
Rolling down the highway
Says there's room enough for two in my cab
If you're going my way, cause
