Wanna Be Somewhere With You

"I Walk The Road To Nowhere" is a heartfelt country-folk ballad that tells the story of a man searching for light in the darkest of times. With raw acoustic guitar, haunting melodies, and deeply personal lyrics, the song paints a picture of walking a lonely road, torn between despair and hope. It’s both a prayer and a confession — a cry to God for guidance, strength, and redemption.

This track blends folk and country roots into something honest and soul-stirring — for anyone who’s ever felt lost, broken, and still dared to ask for help.

I Walk The Road To Nowhere

[Verse 1]
I walk the road to nowhere
No signs along the way
The wind blows around me
The rain comes again

[Verse 2]
I don’t even have a shadow
Because I don’t even have a light
All that surrounds me is the darkness
I’m so afraid of the night

[Chorus]
Give me light, my god
Show me the way, oh lord 
Help me to see
A better way
Give me light, my god
Hold my hand 
I'm tired and weary
I'm a lost and broken man 
I'm a lost and broken man 

[Verse 1]
You know  all my problems
You've seen all my tears
You've walked in my darkness
for all of these year  

[Verse 2]
I've taken the wrong road
Now I'm lost in the dark 
Please show me a light lord
I'm falling apart

[Chorus]
Give me light, my god
Show me the way, oh lord 
Help me to see
A better way
Give me light, my god
Hold my hand 
I'm tired and weary
I'm a lost and broken man 
I'm a lost and broken man 
A broken man

Could Have Been So Good (Feat. Bandit)

LYRICS
Steel wheels rolling on an endless track
Sun comes up, never looking back
Coffee's cold and the radio's dead 
These boots keep moving straight ahead 
Every morning starts the same old way 
Another dollar for another day

Keep on, 
Keep on, 
Keep on keeping on 
Keep on,
Keep on, 
Keep on, keeping on
Keep on,
Keep on,
Thru the breaking dawn

Back is breaking but the bills don't care 
Yesterday's tired meets tomorrow's prayer
Kids need feeding and the rent comes due 
Do what you gotta to see it through 
Times are changing but you stand your ground 
Don’t matter the world keeps spinning around

Keep on, 
Keep on, 
Keep on keeping on 
Keep on,
Keep on, 
Keep on, keeping on
Keep on,
Keep on,
Thru the breaking dawn

When your bones are aching and your spirit's worn
You still get up every goddamn morn 
When the road gets longer and the price is high
Remember, friend, remember why—

There's a rhythm in the struggle's beat
Like a drummer pounding thru the heat
Every heartbeat is a battle cry
You can't stop til you finally die
Till that day comes knocking at your door
Lace them up and give a little more

Keep on,
Keep on,
Keep on keeping on 
Keep on, Keep on, 
Through the night through the dawn 
Keep on, 
Keep on, 
Keep on keeping on

Keep On

LYRICS
Where waters marry in the valley low
My father's father fed the furnace glow
Bridges, rosaries of steel
Every rivet proof of something real

When the coke fires died, fires died
We still tried, we fuckin' tried

HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers runnin’ through
HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers run through me, run through you
Blood and water, rust and rain
Glory days and years of pain
HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers run through

Empty mills, cathedrals in the dark
Broken windows, broken dreams, broken hearts
But holy ground don't lose its prayer
We built it once, tear it down, fuck it, we don’t care

When the coke fires died, fires died
We still tried, we fuckin' tried

HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers runnin’ through
HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers run through me, runs through you
Blood and water, rust and rain
Glory days and years of pain
HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers run through

Four hundred bridges built by hand
Four hundred bridges, where we make our stand
We’re the children of the coal and flame
World keeps changing but the heart's the same
THE HEART'S THE SAME!
THE HEART'S THE SAME!

New towers rising where the smokestacks fell
Same calloused hands still given’ them fuckers hell
The rivers know our names by now
Never saw us break, never seen us bow

HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers runnin’ through
HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers run through me, through you
Blood and water, rust and rain
Glory days and years of pain
HEY! HEY! HEY! Three rivers run through

Three rivers run through me!
Three rivers run through you!
THREE RIVERS RUN THROUGH!

LYRICS
Black and yellow stripes should've been a sign 
Heard the buzz, but my eyes were blind
Couldn’t see it, didn’t feel it, but now I do
Too late, frozen, stung by you (you, you)

Know you’re gonna leave a mark on me
But there’s no running now, no running now

They say it's never any fun to get stung
But you make my head hum (my body numb, acting dumb)
Little bit of hurt never hurt no one
They say it's never any fun
(But they’re wrong, `cause you’re all right)

Bodies dancing like a hive, smell of honey in the air
Probably need a doctor, but can't stop, don't care
You're running through my system, shouldn't want it like I do
But something 'bout the swelling just makes me want more of you

Feel the buzz, it's getting louder now
Think I want you to sting me again somehow

They say it's never any fun to get stung
But you make my head hum (my body numb, acting dumb)
Little bit of hurt never hurt no one
They say it's never any fun
(But they’re wrong, `cause you’re all right)

Dizzy from the fever, where I'm blushing is the proof
The sting? Yeah, it hurts, but that's my truth

They say it's never any fun to get stung
But you make my head hum (my body numb, acting dumb)
Little bit of hurt never hurt no one
They say it's never any fun
(But they’re wrong, `cause you’re all right)
You’re all right

Stung

LYRICS
When do you beat the sun to rise?
When do you lace up, sleep still in your eyes?
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!
How often do you weather the storm?
How often do you beat the fuckin’ norm?
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!
When does the grind keep grinding?
When do you get shit done without reminding?
EVERY DAMN DAY!

No excuses, no complaints
No need to be a saint
Rain, shine or holiday just fuckin’ show up
EVERY DAMN DAY!
EVERY DAMN DAY!

When do you keep the lights burning?
When do you stand in the fire?
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!
When do you hold the line, brother?
When do you bleed for each other?
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!
How often do you shoulder the burden?
How often must you push through the hurting?
EVERY DAMN DAY!

No excuses, no complaints
You don’t need to be no saint
Rain, shine or holiday, just fuckin’ show up
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!

They don't write songs about us
We don't get no parade
But we're the ones who built this place
Brick by brick, face to face

When you gotta look yourself in the mirror?
When do you force your purpose clearer?
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!
How often do you keep the faith burning?
How often do you gotta keep learning?
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!
When does your word become iron?
When do you speak truth `stead of lyin’?
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!

No excuses, no complaints
I ain't looking to be no saint
Rain, shine or holiday I just fuckin’ show up
EVERY DAMN DAY!
EVERY GODDAMN DAY!

EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY! (DAY DAY DAY)
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY! (DAY DAY DAY)

When do you answer the call? EVERY DAMN DAY!
When do you give your all? EVERY DAMN DAY!
How often do you refuse to break? EVERY DAMN DAY!
How often for fuck’s sake? EVERY DAMN DAY!

No excuses, no complaints
I ain't looking to be no saint
Rain or shine or holiday
EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY! EVERY DAMN DAY!!

Every Damn Day

LYRICS
I was static on the radio, hair turning gray
Same old songs playing every damn day
Then you walked in laughing, lil’ bit o’ devil in your smile
Haven't felt this reckless in a good long while

Joelle, Jo, Jo-elle, girl of gasoline and flame
Fuelin’ my old heart, making it run
Joelle, Jo, Jo-elle, this man's been born again ‘cause,
Lady, you make me feel like I'm turnin’ twenty-one

I'd forgotten colors, everythin’ black ‘n’ white
You see sunsets burning in the dead of night
Dancing in the kitchen, radio turned loud
You grab me by the collar, lift me off the ground

Joelle, Jo, Jo-elle, girl of gasoline and flame
Fuelin’ my old heart, making it run
Joelle, Jo, Jo-elle, this man's been born again ‘cause,
Lady, you make me feel like I'm turnin’ twenty-one

You don't know what you're doing
Girl, you're out of control
But you got me moving
Setting fire to this ol’ soul

Used to count the hours, now I'm counting stars
You turned flat-line thinking back to bad-ass guitars
Maybe I'm a fool, maybe that's alright
You got me feeling young again come Saturday night

Joelle, Jo, Jo-elle, girl of gasoline and flame
Fuelin’ my old heart, making it run
Joelle, Jo, Jo-elle, this man's been born again ‘cause,
Lady, you make me feel like I'm turnin’ twenty-one
Yeah, you make me feel like we've just begun

Joelle, Jo, Jo-elle (Joelle, Joelle) Joelle, Jo, Jo, Jo-elle
