Cody Canada & The Departed - Long Way to Nowhere Lyrics

At seventeen all i wanted to be
Was gone long gone
The only way i would have stayed
Was a graveyard stone
I had a plan that i could mention
But the road is paved with good intentions

(Chorus:)

Forgiveness if you please
Let it rain down on me
Cause i've come a long way to nowhere

Now when i'm asked did i learn in the past
I say more or less
And do i know which direction to go
Well i must confess
If i thought i knew the answer
I am sure i'd have taken my chances

(Chorus)

The irony is that i'm dying to be
Gone long gone
And you know if i could i'd go back
Home sweet home
Sifting through the mixed emotions
I couldn't change if i took the notion

(Chorus)

Seventeen, all i wanted to be
Was gone, long gone
