NOWHERE TO GO

Yesterday I met a man
With nowhere to go
Asked him how he got there
And he didn't know
He was an unlucky man
Just an unlucky man
His borrowed time was repossessed
And he had nowhere to go

He said --I just got outta jail
And I tried to go home
Walked in on my woman
And she wasn't alone
Now my heart's broke agin
I'm getting' desperate man
Can you help me with five dollars --please
Don't make me beg on my knees'

Nowhere to go
Is worse than
No one to love
A map without a road to where
You're dreaming of
His borrowed time was repossessed
And he had nowhere to go

Nowhere to go
Is worse than no one to love
A map without a destination
You're thinking of
His stolen time was gone for good
And he had nowhere to go

He was an unlucky man
Just a desperate man
Could've been you or me
And he had nowhere to go

He was an unlucky man
Just a desperate man
Could've been you or me
