From the recording Listen and Learn
Lyrics
I’ve seen this girl here before
I used to be like her older sister
And I am trying not to notice
The change from a child to a stranger
That answers to her name
She’s come a long long way down
On this road to nowhere
She can’t wait (wait) to grow up
And everybody comes here too
And this place stinks of beer
She doesn’t care she’s all surrounded
And I am trying not to notice that she can’t even see me
And guess who is that she’s walking out with
It’s a long long way down
On this road to nowhere
Can’t wait (wait) to grow up
Hope she’ll make it
Hope she’ll make it somehow
Up all night and so easily led
Another day has gone and nothing seems right
Still trying, hard to say goodbye to the child
She will never be, never will be, she will
Never be again
It’s along long way down
On this road to nowhere
Can’t wait wait to grow up
On this road to nowhere
Wait to grow up
(Make-up wearing thin my dear)
Road to nowhere making... ahh...
(Make-up wearing thin my dear)
Hope she’ll make it, hope she’ll make it
Hope she’ll make it, hope she’ll make it
Somehow
