Unable to settle in one place, restlessness and the need to keep moving on

lyrics

It was blistering last summer, there was very little rain
There were bones in the creek beds and the fields, there was dust upon the plain
And there are towns through the mountains to the north, the ocean and cities in the east
It’s time to toss a coin or head the way that scares me least

Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets, hit the big blue sky
Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets
Get the pedal down, wave this place goodbye

So I picked the water, I couldn’t stand more drought
And I can get lost easy enough in a place like this, without a shadow of a doubt
Well the town was a little shallow, the ocean blue and deep
And the sand could burn into your soul, and the girls could make you weep

Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets, hit the big blue sky
Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets
Get the pedal down, wave this place goodbye

SOLO
And I realised that this place, was just the same as where I’d been
And if I have to leave another town, well that isn’t such a sin

It really is quite beautiful, I see how it gets its name
It’s clean and bright and glittering, I’m not sorry that I came
And I guess I could have known all this before I took the wheel
But you really have to go there to work out how you’ll feel
But I never could have settled, it just isn’t in my heart
And I’m pretty good at endings, time to make another start
And now I’m headed north again, last night straight on through
To where something good may find me, in a town called Somewhere New

Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets, hit the big blue sky
Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets, hit the big blue sky
Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets, hit the big blue sky
Nothing in my pockets, nothing left to try, gotta fire the rockets, hit the big blue...
