American Aquarium Road To Nowhere Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to nowhere
In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there
Cryin', cryin'

[Verse 2]
Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war-bound soldiers marchin'
She ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness
When they're dyin', she's dyin'

[Chorus]
When I told her I loved her, she told me she's leavin'
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in
And as she slammed the door and walked away, I turned on my radio
And I played her a dancin' song to guide her home

[Verse 3]
I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus
But like Judas she rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces
A weddin' ring, a weddin' ring

[Verse 4]
And in my darkest hour, her eyes filled with desperation
The words were sharp and her sword was swift, Lord I have been forsaken
By my one true love, my one true love

[Chorus]
When I told her I loved her, she told me she's leavin'
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in
And as she slammed the door and walked away, I turned on my radio
And I played her a dancin' song to guide her home

[Verse 5]
And as I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared
I wonder where where you are and who you're with, Do you think that he cares
About you, about you? (Naw)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
Now I am not a godly man, my road's twisted and sinful
But to have you back, I'd bow my head and sing a Southern Baptist hymnal
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
