i'm a drifter
and i don't need your things
i left my mother, father, and sister for this
and this is what i sing...
i sing "oh, i just don't know
where to go
where do i go?"
i'm a singer
and i just need a direction
no one's ever liked my songs
maybe i just need a direction
"oh, i just don't know
where to go
where do i go?"
i'm a writer
but my pen has no ink
my words have never been quieter
and this is what i think
i think "oh, i just don't know
where to go
where do i go?"
all around me in this town are crooks
no matter where you look
no matter which road you took
and i've been living in this good for nothing town
where the people all around find hope in getting you down
find hope in getting you down
and i've been thinking about this when i lay down
and close my eyes when there is no sound
and i'm free from all the lies
free from all the lies
where's the truth in what you speak?
where's the truth in what you speak?
there's no truth in what you speak,
no there's no truth in what you speak.
we're all sinners
just normal human beings
we wanna go with the flow
but we don't know where to go
we just need something
oh, i just don't know
where to go
where do i go?
