Goin Nowhere Fast lyrics
(voice of woody guthrie: I been robbed for cash and I been robbed on credit;
Woke up a lot of mornings, didn t even know where I was at. the hardest
Work I ever done is when I was trying to get myself a worried woman to ease
My worried mind.)

All the things they said would happen to you
Don t ya know they re all comin true
Goin nowhere fast.

Nothing s strange as when it seems
You re living out all your worst possible dreams
Goin nowhere fast

Bad times, worse times,
All the times in between
I tangle in the shadow, stumble in the trees
Goin nowhere fast

I learn my lesson
And I learn it again
I heard what they said, "live fast and die stupid"
Goin nowhere fast
My compass is spinnin
Like a gamblin wheel
It takes a hideous misfortune for to tell how I feel
Goin nowhere fast

I threw it all away
Like shoes into the street
These terrible things will tear me in three
Goin nowhere fast

I don t care what time will tell
Just tell me if I might as well be halfway to hell
Goin nowhere fast

I m sick through my skin
With silence and doom
I break my back, I cry on the moon
Goin nowhere fast
Going nowhere fast
