Name: Going Nowhere Fast
Duration: P00H02M58S
Description: This is a song that I quickly wrote in the summer/fall of 2022. It's somewhat tongue & cheek but it does express a "racing" feeling that I (and others) get from time to time. I think it sounds like the Rolling Stones but a friend said it reminded him of Joe Strummer - I'll take that as a great compliment!

lyrics

I'm going nowhere fast
I need a place to crash
I just ran out of gas
Bad weather in my forecast
I can't think without sleep
Sleeping pills are dirt cheap
I'm in up to my neck deep
I lost my soul on the junk heap

I lost my sense of time
I got no reason or rhyme
I live on nickels and dimes
I keep falling behind
My mind is a mixed up mess
Friends think I'm under stress
My shrink says I'm depressed
Man, I could care less

I'm like a rat in a cage
Spinning the wheel in a rage
I need to act my age
The world is just a stage
I'm going nowhere fast
Got to put it all in the past
Going nowhere fast
My life has no contrast
I'm going nowhere fast
I guess the die is cast
I'm going nowhere fast
You can kiss my ass
I'm going nowhere fast
