Jj Cale - 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
