    A definitely different, acoustic rocker. Imagine a song that defines the movie Easyrider. Great lyrics and a rockin guitar.
    Credits: Written and performed by Cordell Hurst. Back up vocals by Deryn Riggs

    Story Behind the Song
    I always wanted to write a roadtrip song. That's where Nowhere Man started. It's all about how those roadtrips made me feel.

    One guitar...as usual pumped into my computer. I pulled lead vocals and an old friend of mine spotted me his chords for back-up vocals.

    The original recording was done some time ago, so I haven't a clue what effects I used, but in April of 2003 I felt inspired and did a bit of tweaking, making it sound fuller and adjusting volume levels throughout the track.

    It's a really fun song to perform, but it'll wear you out...if it doesn't, your aren't playing it right...

    Lyrics
    Sun rises on another day
    I dont know where I'm goin or where Ill stay
    They say I can do whatever I choose
    I aint got no money but I got some holes in my shoes

    I pay no taxes, yeah, Sam dont know me
    But I know my right from wrong, that's good enough for me
    I cant get no job aint got no address
    I aint doin all that good but Im doin my best

    And Im free with nowhere to go
    And Im free with nothin to show
    But Im free, I got dirt on my face
    And Im free though Im so outta place

    Im a high plains drifter, Im your Nowhere Man
    Im like Superman, when in disguise, Ill do what I can
    Its a starlit sky showin me the open road
    Its been seein those things so many never know

    And Im free with nowhere to go
    And Im free with nothin to show
    But Im free, I got dirt on my face
    And Im free though Im so outta place, yeah

    Well,
    Sun settin on another day
    I still dont know where Im goin or where Ill stay
    You say you aint got much, Ill do it with less
    I aint doin that good but Im still doin my best

    And Im free with nowhere to go
    And Im free with nothin to show
    But Im free, I got dirt on my face
    And Im free though Im so outta place

    Im a high plains drifter, Im your Nowhere Man
    Im like Superman, when in disguise, Ill do what I can
    You say you aint got much, Ill do it with less
    I aint doin that good but Im still doin my best

    And Im free with nowhere to go
    And Im free with nothin to show
    But Im free, I got dirt on my face
    And Im free though Im so outta place, yeah
