Nobody Knows Lyrics - J. J. Cale

Words that we say could all be lies someday 

Scattered to the wind, I don't know 

Things that we trust could crumble into dust 

No one can really say it ain't so 

When you go over a mountain 

When you're looking down the road 

When you think you're going backwards 

It's all in vain, it seems insane 

When you ask, nobody knows 

If our actions seem in doubt 

By the way we move about 

Seems like we're always on the run 

Our mark is just a scratch 

Like holding up a match 

And trying to see the burn against the sun 

When we're going over a mountain

When we're looking down the road 

If you think you're going backwards 

It's all in vain, it seems insane 

When you ask, nobody knows 

When all our days are gone 

You can catch us with a song 

Something that seemed almost right 

We've known love and joy 

Eternity's been our toy 

Something to play with in the night 

When we're going over a mountain 

When we're looking down the road 

If you think you're going backwards 

It's all in vain, it seems insane 

When you ask, nobody knows 

When I go over my mountain

When I'm looking down the road 

If I think I'm going backwards 

It's all in vain, it seems insane 

When I ask, nobody knows
