nobody's child

she was born on a dead end street

half a mile from the freeway sign

growing up in a house that was never a home

all alone

she never had too much to say

it didn't matter anyway

ain't no one to hear you when your on your own

oh no

and the road gets longer

as the night goes on

now your running yet your crying

falling faster then you fly

and the demons just beside you

come swift and wild when your nobody's child

there's a heartache like the devil at your side

and the danger is the dark and lonely night

when your nobody's child

he was raised as an army brat

he never stayed in one place too long

moving town to town he never knew a soul

had nothing to show but mama left when he was a boy

his dad said better act your age

one night he just walked away alone

now he's long gone

and the road gets longer

as life goes on

now your running yet your crying

falling faster then you fly

and the demons just beside you

come swift and wild when your nobody's child

there's a heartache like the devil at your side

and the danger is the dark and lonely night

when your nobody's child

some people get lucky

and that's the way it goes

and some people never find their way back home

now your running yet your crying

falling faster then you fly

and the demons just beside you

come swift and wild when your nobody's child

there's a heartache like the devil at your side

and the danger is the dark and lonely night

when your nobody's child
