Growin' up we swore we came from nowhere
Three stoplights right off the interstate
And always dreamed that one day we'd be leavin'
Yeah, the years went by and we could hardly wait

Last time we saw that town
We were draggin' cans
Just married written
On the windows of my van

But I guess nowhere is somewhere
She'd rather be
Yeah, right back in the last place
She'd ever thought she'd see

And I guess lovin' me is harder than
It appears to be
'Cause she'd rather be nowhere
Than somewhere with me

Came up here to some place people heard of
And drove these city streets like a wonder land
But I guess I was too hard to hang onto
Yeah, goin' back was never in her plans

Man, I thought that nothin'
Could make her leave this place
Other than a goodbye
That's the hardest thing to face

And I guess nowhere is somewhere
She'd rather be
Yeah, right back in the last place
She'd ever thought she'd see

And I guess lovin' me is harder than
It appears to be
'Cause she'd rather be nowhere
Than somewhere with me

When I think about what she's gone back to
Then I think about what I put her through

And I guess nowhere is somewhere
She'd rather be
Yeah, right back in the last place
She'd ever thought she'd see

And I guess lovin' me is harder than
It appears to be
'Cause she'd rather be nowhere
Than somewhere
Yeah, out there than right here
Yeah, nowhere than somewhere with me

Than right here with me
Here with me
Oh, right here with me, yeah, yeah
