Diamond Rio - Nowhere Bound Lyrics
You save up your money boy, bought you some shoes
The highway's calling you and she's
Just when you thought you had it beat
But now you're leaving town on a one-way street.
It's a hard, hard lesson
But you're gonna have to learn it
It's a long cold swim up against the current
And somewhere down the line
You're gonna have to turn it, around
'Cause boy right now you're nowhere bound.
Her words still echo through your mind
But fade away as you cross the county line
Running from trouble or from the truth
[Chorus:]
It's a hard, hard lesson
But you're gonna have to learn it
It's a long cold swim up against the current
And somewhere down the line
You're gonna have to turn it, around
'Cause boy right now you're nowhere bound.
[Instrumental]
Well, you walk ten miles just to make new tracks
But you turn around and find that it's twenty miles back
And it's never gonna change it you keep leaving
Your heart's gonna break, but never break even.
Where to now, do you know?
One thing's for certain
Gonna reap just what you sow
And all you planted was heartache and pain
Don't look now but it looks like rain.
[Chorus:]
It's a hard, hard lesson
But you're gonna have to learn it
It's a long cold swim up against the current
And somewhere down the line
You're gonna have to turn it, around
'Cause boy right now you're nowhere bound.
Nowhere bound
Nowhere bound...

Diamond Rio Nowhere Bound Comments
This is how I start my day every morning
Yup i'm learning with every mistake that i make like right after school i was going to go to college down ner hershey park i was only going to be gone for six month, on the day i was sapost to go go my mother Did adrug over doze with pills .
I love this song and group! Country music of the 90s. My favourite!
I got to see these guys a few weeks ago (early October 2019), and Diamond Rio has still got it! They even did portion of this song as part of a “hits medley” (which was awesome)!
Top 3 of country bands of all time!
Filmed in beautiful downtown Vaughn, NM.
What a great song lyrically especially. Still as good in 2019 as it was the day it came out.
So 90s country.
Diamond Rio and Blackhawk...2 of the best 90s country bands hands down.!!
2 of my all-time favorite country bands for sure!!
Amen Rick you have damn good taste in music
Miss marty and the guys. Country these days is just garbage.
True true true..
Amen to that!!
Gosh, I love this band
One if my many favs is the ode to Merle's WorkingManBlues with Steve Wariner, Diamond Rio, Lee Roy Parnell.....
Im half tempted to grow a mullet, seriously, just to see if I can resurrect it
Yes great guitar player So tasteful In ever way
Life without Diamond Rio would be such a shame.
So grateful to be born in this generation♥
Great bridge!
I wish Diamond Rio would play this at their shows
@Wisty Sky They play a melody of it but it's not long enough!!!
@Chris Mckinney I agree. I love their songs and I get their stance to do medleys but I would love the full song of it and You're Gone.
@Wisty Sky Same here and Walkin Away!!
@Chris Mckinney Yes that one too. They have so many great ones. When I saw them back in August they sounded better than probably than I had heard in a couple concerts. My family goes to see them every time they are around here.
@Wisty Sky They definitely have a lot to choose from that's for sure!
💖💖
Back when everyone had mullets! In fact, Diamond Rio had more mullets than Full House
I miss these guys.. I wish they would put out new music.. and make a comeback. There needs to be a reunion concert of 90s country artists..
Barbara Brandon They still do concerts atleast last I knew, but I'm not sure on making new music because I doubt it'd fit with the new country unless they added pop or started rapping in their music and I for one wouldn't want that
these boys aren't gone. They do 100's of shows a year.
Gee. It sound so good! i'm crazy about those mid 80's heavy country rock mainstream country band !
I love this song!
Jessica Ann Stewart me to
me to diamond reo just done a christmas show in my hometown of burlington iowa sadly i didnt get to go to it
Love this song great singers and musicians thanks for posting this song ☺
I knew this song was not going to be a #1 hit for Diamond Rio when I first heard it, but predicted a top 5 finish. Reached #4 on Billboard on 10-3-92.
I just happened to notice this a few min ago, shirt nipple shot at 2:30, just FYI
You don't hear music like this anymore, not just the words and lyrics, but the guitar, drums, etc. tunes...
Marty was an amazing lead vocalist...I don't know why they're gone, but that's the music business...I miss them.
They're not gone
They just played in Indiana couple days ago
Definitely not gone. Saw them in concert last month and they sounded great and they put out music. The radio just doesn't play them anymore.
They are still going strong...just saw them in concert tonight & they were AWESOME!!!
@Tamara Tanner I almost went to that show! Glad they play the area pretty often.
Another great video by the boys of diamond reo.
awesome song
Awesome song and group
I'm so happy these guys got a good run in the music business. They are truly talented musicians
They're gay
Katie The Awesome Girl Fighter don't bring that new-age country attitude bullshit here. We won't have it.
Katie The Awesome Girl Fighter Shut up bitch
shut the fuck up bitch
Jimmy Olander, one of the most under rated pickers in country.
you could not be more right
Absolutely and one of the hardest to mimic. I know their bus driver who is a great guitarist in his own right. He told me that Jimmy has absolutely no idea how good or how influential he is.
Awesome song. One of their best.
