Welcome To Nowhere Lyrics

Welcome to nowhere, population one more

We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born

I'm sure you know your way around here by now

But I'll give you the grand tour anyhow

Here's the arena where hometown teams

Of high school heroes give up on their dreams

Below crowd of parents that scream and shout

Hoping their kid's good enough to get out

Welcome to nowhere, population one more

We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born

Get used to the view, its the only thing you'll see

Welcome to the place you'll never leave

There's the plant or the shop or the mill

Where your daddy signed on to pay the family bill

You know he used to look like you back twenty-some years

Before his body quit trying to burn off all the beers

If you happen to notice them lifted pickup trucks

With their straight-piped exhausts, and mechanical nuts

Don't pay em no mind, that truck'll be gone

When the child support means they can't pay off the loan

Welcome to nowhere, population one more

We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born

Get used to the view, its all you'll ever see

Welcome to the place you'll never leave

Best pick a house and settle on in

Before that price tag rises again

Settle down in that front porch rocking chair

I'll see you around, welcome to nowhere

Welcome to nowhere, population one more

We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born

Get used to the view, its the only thing you'll see

Welcome to the place you'll never leave

Settle on in...

You're gonna be here for a while
