Hey, buddy, you know me, I guess you've heard my name 



I was the greatest, I had my share of fame 

The girls, they loved me, you know I had them all 

But now, they don't love me, now they don't care at all 



I thought I could not fail  

I had it by the tail  

I thought I owned this town 

But now I'm headed down, I'm 

Standing by the roadside 

Up against a wall 

Now I'm going nowhere 

Nowhere at all 



I was the strongest, I pushed the world around  

I stood the tallest, I turned it upside down  

I thought I had it, I thought I knew it all  

Why couldn't I see it, the writing on the wall  

I wanted everything  

I had it on a string  

I soared above the ground 

But now I'm coming down, I'm 

Standing by the roadside 

Up against a wall 

Now I'm going nowhere 

Nowhere at all 



Now I'm going nowhere 

Nowhere at all 

Now I'm going nowhere 

Nowhere at all 



Hey buddy, you've seen me, you know my face and name 

Hey, buddy, listen to me, don't turn and walk away 

I thought I had it made 

I thought I'd never fade 

I thought I'd live forever 

I guess I should've know better, I'm 

Standing by the roadside 

Up against a wall 

Now I'm going nowhere 

Nowhere at all
