Just The Other Side Of Nowhere

John Prine

I've come from just the other side of nowhere
To this big time lonesome town
They got a lot of ice and snow here
Half as cold as all the people I've found

Every way I try to go here seems to bring me down
I've seen about enough to know where I belong
I've got a mind to see the headlights shining
On that old white line between my heart and home

Sick of spending Sundays, wishing they were Mondays
Sitting in a park alone
So, give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong

Tell them that the pride of just the other side of nowhere's going home
Taking nothing back to show there for these dues I have paid
But the soul I almost sold here and the body I've been giving away

Fading from the neon nighttime glow here, heading for the light of day
Just the other side of nowhere, going home
I've got a mind to see the headlights shining
On that old white line between my heart and home

Sick of spending Sundays, wishing they were Mondays
Sitting in a park alone
So, give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong

Tell them that the pride of just the other side of nowhere's going home
Taking nothing back to show there for these dues I have paid
But the soul I almost sold here and the body I've been giving away

Fading from the neon nighttime glow here, heading for the light of day
Just the other side of nowhere, going home
Just the other side of nowhere, going home
