Story Behind The Song

Composer brought idea to lyricist, who sat by lake in truck bed and wrote it. Got Ashleigh to use her great voice on it. Great match!

Song Description

Woman singing goodbye to her live-in. She is driving away, from him for good and singing about it as she fades into the distance. She is out to find a new life, after he told her that she had "nowhere to go," so as far as she wants him to be concerned, that is where she's headed with nowhere to go.

Lyrics

V1) For 3 long years, I put up with your crap
Now, I'm rollin' out'a your life in my ragtop Cadillac
Got my clothes packed n' a radio full of tunes
N' no one's here who cares what I'm doin'
I'm tired of waitin' 'round for my dream to come true
No, this cowgirl has plans, way away from you - Ch

V2) Now, the sun's a risin' n' the cows are a'mooin'
Hens laid their eggs -- new day's brewin'
You're gonna find that this one's dif'rent
Threw your clothes in the yard, if you can take a hint
Clothes line there to hang them up your lies
I'm rollin' out'a town n' I'm fin-al-ly feel--in' fine - Ch

Ch) You dared me to hit the road
Told me I had nowhere to go
So, sweetheart, that's where I'm goin'
N' that's all you need knowin'
I'm drivin' to fresh air...goin' nowhere
I'm drivin' without a care...goin' nowhere

Coda:
Yeah, I'm gone from here
Drivin' without a care
Rip off this rear view mirror
Ain't nothin' I need back there

V3) So go to work today - don't haf'ta show it
Laugh with the boys -- don't let no one know it
Play your games -- avoid sayin' my name
I ain't comin' back - there ain't no dang way
When you go home n' nobody's there
You'll know I'm gone n' you'll sure wonder where - Ch
