Lyrics

Everywhere that isn't somewhere there's a mother all alone
And an only son who's traveled far from home
She can feel his shoulders ache from laying stone on top of stone
And she hopes that someday he's gonna find

Everywhere that isn't somewhere there's an old dog in a cage
Missing a kid in hand-me-downs with dirt smeared on his face
He wonders why you're gone and why the hours turn to days
And why his years don't last as long as our own

You just can't get there from here is what you tell all your friends
But the interstate just loops in on itself and back again
When you get to where you're going is it too late to know you're wrong?
Everywhere that isn't somewhere might be somewhere all along

Everywhere that isn't somewhere there's an old man with a son
Who knows exactly why all he knows how to do is run
Holding back the tears all he can manage is a nod
"Don't drive too fast" he tells him as he leaves

You just can't get there from here is what you tell all your friends
But the interstate just loops in on itself and back again
When you get to where you're going is it too late to know you're wrong?
Everywhere that isn't somewhere might be somewhere all along
