You save up your money, buy you some shoes
The highways calling and shes right on cue
Just when you thought you had it beat
Youre leaving town on a one way streetIts a hard, hard lesson
But youre gonna have to learn it
Its a long cold swim up against the currentAnd somewhere down the line
youre gonna have to turn it around
Cause boy, right now youre nowhere boundHer words still echo through your mind
But fade away as you cross the county line
Running from trouble or from the truth
It doesnt matter either way you loseIts a hard, hard lesson
But youre gonna have to learn it
Its a long cold swim up against the currentAnd somewhere down the line
youre gonna have to turn it around
Cause boy, right now youre nowhere boundWell, you walk ten miles just to make new tracks
But you turn around and find that its twenty miles back
And its never gonna change it you keep leaving
Your hearts gonna break, but never break evenWhere to now, do you know?
One things for certain, gonna reap just what you sow
And all you planted was heartache and pain
Dont look now but it looks like rain
