The Song That Doesn’t Go Anywhere
[Rhett]
I was playing a song
That didn't go anywhere
It was kind of just like an accompaniment for life

[Link]
That doesn't go anywhere

[Rhett]
This song doesn't go anywhere
You can kinda just start to sing something
That sounds like some kind of folk song and never rhymes

[Link]
But doesn't go anywhere

[Rhett] [Link]
And then you sing another verse Go anywhere
That doesn't rhyme with the line Go anywhere
That you said just a couple of seconds ago Go anywhere
Go anywhere
'Cause this song doesn't go anywhere Go anywhere
This song doesn't go anywhere Go anywhere
It just kinda stays where it's at Go anywhere
And it doesn't go anywhere Go anywhere
I said this song doesn't go anywhere Go anywhere
It just kinda stays right there where it's at
I said this song Go anywhere
Doesn't really go anywhere Go anywhere
It kinda just stays right here where it's at Go anywhere

Just like your life

[Rhett] [Link]
Your life isn't going anywhere Goin' anywhere
Your life is just stayin' there Goin' anywhere
You're wasting your time on this Earth Goin' anywhere
I know it's a sad thing Goin' anywhere
But it's kind of true Goin' anywhere
Just learn to deal with it Goin' anywhere

Nowhere

[Rhett, spoken]
See, you end a song that doesn't go anywhere on a suspended chord.

Hang in there
[Rhett, singing]
This song doesn't resolve
Just like you
You've got no resolve

[Link]
And you've got issues with [Rhett]
Conflict Just learn to deal with it
You can't bring closure to conflict It's a reality

[Rhett]
Your parents have been telling you this for years
Now we're confirming all their fears

[Link] [Rhett]
You don't always have to be right Song doesn't go anywhere
You don't always have to be right Song doesn't go anywhere

[Rhett]
It just kinda stays right there

[Link]
Why do you think you have to be right?
Why can't you resolve anything?

[Both]
In fact, there's two men singing something
Totally unrelated to each other
[Rhett] [Link]
Just like the two halves of your brain This song doesn't
That cannot coordinate with each other Go anywhere

[Link]
Go anywhere
