[Verse 1] I saw that sign on forty-nine Rust on the pole, bird in the wire Tank run dry and my nerves all thinned Baby, I been drivin' on a grin I had your ring in my shirt pocket Broke lane, blacktop, couldn't stop it County line and a busted guard rail I was already gone by the time you called my name [Pre-Chorus] Keep rollin', keep rollin' Moon on the hood One more turn And I'm no good [Chorus] Last exit to nowhere Take me where I don't care Last exit to nowhere I'm halfway gone, still halfway there Last exit to nowhere Dust in my throat, wild in my stare Last exit to nowhere If I miss it now, don't wait for me there [Verse 2] Motel ash and a paper cup Gas gauge blinkin' like it's givin' up Your voice still rings in my head Said, "Boy, come home" and I slammed the door instead Now the wheels sing on the shoulder line Mandolin moan and the amp still whines I keep a bottle in the glove box low For the miles I lost and the roads I chose [Pre-Chorus] Keep rollin', keep rollin' Moon on the hood One more turn And I'm no good [Chorus] Last exit to nowhere Take me where I don't care Last exit to nowhere I'm halfway gone, still halfway there Last exit to nowhere Dust in my throat, wild in my stare Last exit to nowhere If I miss it now, don't wait for me there [Bridge] Slide guitar cryin' through the trees I hear your name in the wind off the keys If I turn around, I'll hit the truth If I keep on movin', I lose you too [Chorus] Last exit to nowhere Take me where I don't care Last exit to nowhere I'm halfway gone, still halfway there Last exit to nowhere Dust in my throat, wild in my stare Last exit to nowhere If I miss it now, don't wait for me there
