"Nowhere Bound" by Hudson Westbrook follows a restless goodbye to home, family, and old problems, with Texas promised a return someday. The open road becomes both escape and search, trading direction for freedom in a windshield full of stars. Getting lost, finding a roadside bar, and letting the heart run on cruise are not failures but the whole point. The repeated idea of being everywhere but anywhere captures the paradox: movement without a destination is the only place that feels like sanity.
Nowhere Bound Lyrics by Hudson Westbrook
Well goodbye, mama
Goodbye, everything I know
I blame my old man for the ramblin’ in these bones
And goodbye, problems
You ain’t gonna run me down
Don’t worry, Texas
You know I’ll be back around
Find me everywhere but anywhere
Yeah, I’m nowhere bound
I’m out on the loose
Yeah, my mind winds down and my heart’s on cruise
Go the wrong way, get a little lost
Find a roadside bar, get tossed
Close my eyes and I’ll be there
Destination, I don’t care
‘Cause I’m nowhere
Yeah, I’m nowhere bound
Hello, freedom
In that windshield full of stars, and hello, dreamin’
I’ve been wonderin’ where you are
I’ll find some sanity out there on the breeze
‘Cause I’m nowhere bound
I’m out on the loose
Yeah, my mind winds down when my heart’s on cruise
Go the wrong way, get a little lost
Find a roadside bar, get tossed
Close my eyes and I’ll be there
Destination, I don’t care
‘Cause I’m nowhere
Yeah, I’m nowhere bound
You can find me everywhere
But anywhere
Yeah, I’m nowhere
Yeah, I’m nowhere
Yeah, I’m nowhere bound
I’m out on the loose
Yeah, my mind winds down when my heart’s on cruise
Go the wrong way, get a little lost
Find a roadside bar, get tossed
Close my eyes and I’ll be there
Destination, I don’t care
‘Cause I’m nowhere
Yeah, I’m nowhere bound
Goodbye, mama
Goodbye, everything I know
