Nobody Lyrics - Old 97's

The desert children wanted bread 

The good lord sent them manna 

I asked just for one good girl 

The devil sent me Julianna 

She don't come around no more 

It's time to face the facts 

Take your pallet from her floor 

And that dagger from your back 

Nobody 

Nobody 

Nobody sees you when you're low 

Nobody waits when you get slow 

Nobody wants to wheel [?] off the rails 

Nobody lets you lay down 

When you've run clean out of trail 

How can it be that I'm the only one? 

Yesterday rye bread and soup 

Today was soup and rye 

I asked my friend if soup just said 

N-O-B-O-D and Y 

Nobody 

Nobody 

Nobody buys that you've been slow 

Nobody picks up when you phone 

Nobody lets you forget when you fail 

Nobody lets you lay down 

When you've run clean out of trail 

How can it be that I'm the only one? 

Holin' up with my old friend 

Mirror on the shelf 

He said poor boy, you're looking bad 

And I don't feel so good myself 

Nobody 

Nobody 

Nobody 

Nobody
