Lirieke: J. J. Cale. Nobody Knows.

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 your mountain
When you're lookin' down the road
When you think you're goin' backwards
It's all in vain, 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 holdin' up any match
And tryin' to see the burn against the sun

When we're goin' over the mountain
When we're lookin' down the road
If you think you're goin' backwards
It's all in vain, 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
Somethin' to play with in the night

When we're goin' over our mountain
When we're lookin' down the road
If you think we're goin' backwards
You bear this all in vain, seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows

When I go over my mountain
When I'm lookin' down the road
When I think I'm goin' backwards
It's all in vain, seems insane
When I ask, nobody knows
