Nowhere USA

The road was cold the fog was heavy
Her headlights were just like a ghost
She said, "You look innocent but I ain't crazy"
I'm just too tired to drive on alone

If you don't want me to shoot ya
You'll keep both hands on that wheel
She was sweet with just enough poison
I wasn't sure just what to feel

So I drove her into a sunrise
In the middle of nowhere USA
And she slept peaceful as a baby
Once she put that .45 away

When she woke up we talked bout livin'
Where she was goin', where I had been
I lit a smoke she talked bout Jesus
How he had power to raise the dead
We watched falling stars from her truck bed

So I drove her into a sunrise
In the middle of nowhere USA
And she slept peaceful as a baby
Once she put that .45 away

So I drove her into a sunrise
In the middle of nowhere USA
And she slept peaceful as a baby
Once she put that .45 away

And we parked neath the burnin' sunrise
And I held her against my chest
She said I never would have shot ya
I said I know, your gun it had no lead
