This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I want to see Paris
Insane on the Seine
I want to do that bull run thing in Spain
I want to go to England
And walk down Penny Lane
Half a pint in Ireland may wash away my pain
I'm stuck in mud
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
I want to meet a little girl
With French horn lips
And introduce her to my trip
I'll make her smile on the Nile
Hold her hand in Japan
But last thing's first for all my plans
I'm stuck in mud
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
I'm on my way
I'm almost nowhere
I'm almost everything I swore I'd never be
When I get there
Then I'll go somewhere
I'm gonna pay my last respects
And get the hell out of there
Out of nowhere
I'm stuck in mud
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
Nowheresville...
Insane on the Seine
I want to do that bull run thing in Spain
I want to go to England
And walk down Penny Lane
Half a pint in Ireland may wash away my pain
I'm stuck in mud
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
I want to meet a little girl
With French horn lips
And introduce her to my trip
I'll make her smile on the Nile
Hold her hand in Japan
But last thing's first for all my plans
I'm stuck in mud
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
I'm on my way
I'm almost nowhere
I'm almost everything I swore I'd never be
When I get there
Then I'll go somewhere
I'm gonna pay my last respects
And get the hell out of there
Out of nowhere
I'm stuck in mud
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
Spinnin' my wheels
And I'm all alone on the road
To Nowheresville
Nowheresville...
