J J Cale Nobody Knows Lyrics

Nobody Knows Lyrics

Words that we say could all be lies someday
Scattered to the wind, I don`t know
Things that we trust could crumble into dust
No one can really say it ain`t so
When you go over a mountain
When you`re looking down the road
When you think you`re going backwards
It`s all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
If our actions seem in doubt
By the way we move about
Seems like we`re always on the run
Our mark is just a scratch
Like holding up a match
And trying to see the burn against the sun
When we`re going over a mountain
When we`re looking down the road
If you think you`re going backwards
It`s all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
When all our days are gone
You can catch us with a song
Something that seemed almost right
We`ve known love and joy
Eternity`s been our toy
Something to play with in the night
When we`re going over a mountain
When we`re looking down the road
If you think you`re going backwards
It`s all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
When I go over my mountain
When I`m looking down the road
If I think I`m going backwards
It`s all in vain, it seems insane
When I ask, nobody knows
