Girl Goin' Nowhere

Don't waste your life behind that guitar
 You may get goin', but you won't get far
 You're not the first, and won't be the last
 And you can tell us all about it when you come crawling back
 That road you're on, just winds and winds
 You're spinning your wheels and wasting your time
 But when the lights come up, and I hear the band
 And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am
 I hear the crowd, I look around
 And I can't find an empty chair
 Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
 I get these calls, out on the road
 Heard your song on my radio
 We always said you'd make it big
 And I tell all my friends, I knew you back when
 So don't forget all us little folks
 And when you crash and burn
 Remember we told you so
 And then the lights come up, and I hear the band
 And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am
 I hear the crowd, I look around
 And I can't find one empty chair
 Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
 I need to thank my daddy
 For that first set of strings
 And all those folks who swore I'd never be anything
 It took a whole lot of "yes I wills" and "I don't cares"
 A whole lot of basement dives and county fairs
 To this show right now and y'all sure look good out there
 Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
 Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
