(voice of Woody Guthrie: I been robbed for cash and I been robbed on credit;
woke up a lot of mornings, didn´t even know where I was at. The hardest
work I ever done is when I was trying to get myself a worried woman to ease

my worried mind.)

All the things they said would happen to you
don´t ya know they´re all comin true
goin nowhere fast.

nothing´s strange as when it seems
you´re living out all your worst possible dreams
goin nowhere fast

bad times, worse times,
all the times in between
I tangle in the shadow, stumble in the trees
goin nowhere fast

I learn my lesson
and I learn it again
I heard what they said, "live fast and die stupid"

goin nowhere fast
my compass is spinnin
like a gamblin wheel
it takes a hideous misfortune for to tell how I feel
goin nowhere fast

I threw it all away
like shoes into the street
these terrible things will tear me in three
goin nowhere fast

I don´t care what time will tell
just tell me if I might as well be halfway to hell
goin nowhere fast

I´m sick through my skin

with silence and doom
I break my back, I cry on the moon
goin nowhere fast
going nowhere fast
