Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get ahead you've got to tow the line
Going Nowhere
In the end, what do you have left
They'll leave the trophies sticking from your chest
Going Nowhere
Can't you see that it's falling apart
Get a job get a date get a life
Going Nowhere
Can't you see that it's breaking my heart
Going Nowhere
I won't start at the end of the line
I want what's now yeah, I want what's mine
Going Nowhere Going Nowhere
Can't you see that it's breaking my heart
Going Nowhere
Can't you see I've got nowhere to start
Going Nowhere
And I won't start at the end of the line
Going Nowhere
I want what's now yeah, I want what's mine
Going Nowhere
I want it now yeah I want what's mine
I won't start at the end of the line
Do what your Dad did and you'll be fine
Recite the words that I hear all the time
Get ahead you've got to toe the line
Get a job get a date get a life
I can't start at the end of the line
I want it now yeah I want what's mine
I want it now yeah I want what's mine
I want it now yeah I want what's mine
Whats mine whats mine whats mine whats mine whats mine

Lyrics:
Busch Light on the ice, Titans on the tube
Zapper poppin' flies out here in the boons
Ha, I'm goin' nowhere (oh, oh, oh)
Yeah, I know the mountains got the snow, Cali's got the beach
Memphis' got the soul, Atlanta's got the beats
But, y'all, I'm goin' nowhere (oh, oh, oh)
'Cause I'm stuck in this town, in my truck
Ridin' 'round with a plug of long cut in my lip
You'd have to cut the whole tree down
Can't rip these roots out the ground
Ain't gettin' out and I don't care
'Cause why in the hell would I leave?
I don't need anything but fried chicken and crickets
If there's a yellow pine box, you can carry me in it
This red dirt, you can bury me in it
I'm goin' nowhere
Alright, Wallen, where you goin'?
Yeah, country life is what you make it, you love it or you leave it
I got a reputation, I damn sure plan to keep it
Every bottle, every party, every parkin' lot fight
Guess all them daughter's daddy's were right
I'm goin' nowhere
Stuck in this town, in my truck
Ridin' 'round with a plug of long cut in my lip
You'd have to cut the whole tree down
Can't rip these roots out the ground
Ain't gettin' out and I don't care
'Cause why in the hell would I leave?
I don't need anything but fried chicken and crickets
If there's a yellow pine box, you can carry me in it
This red dirt, you can bury me in it
I'm goin' nowhere
Some people get the itch to ditch a dirt road
But that county line sign's as far as I'll go, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Because I'm stuck in this town, in my truck
Ridin' 'round with a plug of long cut in my lip
You'd have to cut the whole tree down
Can't rip these roots out the ground
Ain't gettin' out and I don't care
'Cause why in the hell would I leave?
I don't need anything but fried chicken and crickets
If there's a yellow pine box, you can carry me in it
This red dirt, you can bury me in it
I'm goin' nowhere (oh, oh, oh)
Goin' nowhere
(I got a reputation, I damn sure plan to keep it)
Y'all, I'm goin' nowhere
(Every bottle, every party, every parkin' lot fight)
Guess all them daughter's daddy's were right
I'm goin' nowhere (oh, oh, oh)
