Uncle Tupelo - Looking For A Way Out lyrics

rate me

when you find you can't somehow

make it like all the rest

you won't need to scrounge aroundfor someone else

torn between the unknown

and the place that you call home

and the life you want but have never known

there was a time

you could put it out of your mind

leave it all behind

there was a time

that time is gone

what has a life of fifty years

in this town done for you

except to earn your nameand place on a barstool

you spent your whole life in this county

you've never been out of state

you say you're gonna make it outbefore it's too late

there was a time

you could put it out of your mind

leave it all behind

there was a time

that time is gone

there was a time when nothing seemedto make much sensethat's turned more intense

and all the crutches you've kept around

now are nowhere to be found

remember when you didn't have

to look ahead or behind you

there was always something right there to do

but now it's life in some kind of traplooking for a way out

well, you keep moving onthat's what it's all about

there was a time

you could put it out of your mind

leave it all behind

there was a time

that time is gone
