Nowhere Fast Lyrics - Warren Brothers

I grew up here on Bourbon Street 

Playin' for the beer and tips 

Livin' by the Poncha Train 

Watchin' drunks and sailin' ships 

I'm sittin' on a midnight train 

Gonna bury momma on my birthday 

And never's gonna be too soon 

To see these streets of Vieux Carre 

 

Thirty years ago 

Momma was a pretty bride 

She took this train to New Orleans 

Made a mask for Mardi Gras 

And never took it off it seems 

Daddy drank away their honeymoon 

He never wore his wedding band 

They fought just like a hurricane 

But she fell in love with Dixieland 

 

Now I'm on a train to nowhere 

To find the future in my past 

I'm on a train to nowhere 

Feelin' like a no one 

How long will this last? 

Goin' nowhere fast 

 

Nine months later to the day 

She labored deep into the night 

I was the baby in her arms 

And she was weakened by the fight 

I grew up fast, I grew up hard 

The alleyways were my backyard 

Momma sang at Pat O'Riley's 

And I sat in with the band on Fridays 

 

Now I'm on a train to nowhere 

To find the future in my past 

I'm on a train to nowhere 

Feelin' like a no one 

How long will this last? 

Goin' nowhere fast 

 

Tonight we'll cross the 

Mason-Dixon line 

Finally takin' momma home 

She will find a restin' place 

Beneath the garden made of stone 

And I came here to find tomorrow 

Now I hear my station name 

If I can just forget my past 

Maybe I can start again 

 

Now I'm on a train to nowhere 

To find the future in my past 

I'm on a train to nowhere 

But this trip will be my last 

Yeah if I can just get goin' 

And get myself on track 

Off this train to nowhere 

It's goin' nowhere fast 

 

Goin' nowhere fast 

Goin' nowhere fast
