"No Direction"


This is a rather whiny song, but here have certainly been times when I felt like this.

No Direction

© Brian Hutzell 1986

The race is on; I hear the gun
I hit the line; I start to run
I see the path; it turns to shade
I'm on the grass
I've lost my way
No control
I've lost the reigns
Vision very vague

No direction
Competition calls, I'm comin' in last
Got no direction
Gotta make time to make some plans
No direction
When the flag falls I've got to be there
No direction
Tryin' to read the signs, but they're going by too fast

Now I relax around the turn
I'm gonna crash; I'm gonna burn
To my beloved I leave my cup
I'm thinking of another day
Spinning down the road in flames
Hit the barricade

No direction
Competition calls, I'm comin' in last
Got no direction
Gotta make time to make some plans
No direction
When the flag falls I've got to be there
No direction
Tryin' to read the signs, but they're going by too fast

What a fantasy, what a fancy dream
Pretending I'm a daring guy, a racing fiend
No, I'll never live like a medalist
I got no girl, I got no gold, I got no goal

No direction
Competition calls, I'm comin' in last
Got no direction
Gotta make time to make some plans
No direction
When the flag falls I've got to be there
No direction
Tryin' to read the signs, but they're going by too fast

What I lack in life I make up with lies
A Don Quixote fighting windmills as unreal as a rainbow
No, I'll never die like a dragonfly
I got no wings
I live and die pianissimo

No direction
Competition calls, I'm comin' in last
Got no direction
Gotta make time to make some plans
No direction
When the flag falls I've got to be there
No direction
Tryin' to read the signs, but they're going by too fast
