High Road To Nowhere Fortune brought her riches from rags She spent it on a new tattoo Like rolling dice in the alley When the bones are kind to you And that girl don't show no mercy She's out again all night And the whole thing seems so easy 'Till the morning brings the light She creeps in through the front door Only four steps from the top When the bedroom door swung open And her racing heart just stops Take the high road to nowhere Pack your things and go Take the high road to nowhere I ain't taking it no more Betting on riches with rags Got to learn about quitting ahead Like rolling dice in the alley When the bones are as cold as the dead And lady luck don't show no mercy You're out again all night And the whole thing seems so easy Till the morning brings the light
