D           G      D
There once was a writer
    G              D
He liked to write songs
 D          G        D
He had the eyes of a fighter
       G           D
Never did nobody wrong

He then became a lover
The day he found his heart
In the words of a hooker
Who walked the cold streets after dark

Chorus:
        Bm
She said, Where d'you think your going
           G
with that look upon your face
    D       Bm
Nowhere for you
          G
He said, I'm going nowhere,
A                      D  A Bm
would you like to come too
         G                 A
He said, I'm going nowhere,
                        D
would you like to come too

So they made love by a streetlight
While the raindrops washed their sin
And as he trespassed into her life
Well she fell in love with him

While touching her face
Looking for a love
He began to kiss her eyes
But at the taste of a tear drop
He heard the lady say goodbye

Chorus:
So he said
Where d'you think your going with
that look upon you face
Nowhere for you
She said I'm going nowhere would you
like to come too
Yeah
She said I'm going nowhere
He said I would love to come with you
