The I Dont Know Where Im Going But Im Going Nowhere In A Hurry Blues Chords & Lyrics - Steve Goodman

[VERSE I]

Mi[C]ss Beverly Jones had a P[G]HD in Physics
And She w[C]ent to town to look for some w[C7]ork
Ev[F]eryplace she applied, said that she was qu[Ab]alified
To be a s[C]ecretary or a c[Am]lerk
And the w[F]ord got out on the day she was b[Ab]orn
But she was tw[C]enty-five years getting the n[Am]ews
And had the "I[D] don't know where I'm going
but I'm going n[G]owhere in a hu[G7]rry" blues

[VERSE II]

M[C]y friend Fred f[G]elt lucky last Tuesday
And [C]he took himself on o[F]ut to the t[C]rack
He was armed with a h[F]ot tip, and a h[Ab]undred dollar bill
But, t[C]hat fool had to hitch hike b[C7]ack
The h[F]orse that he bet on was leading a[Ab]ll the way
Then he t[C]ossed off one of his s[Am]hoes
That h[D]orse had the " I don't know where I going
but I'm going n[G]owhere in a h[G7]urry" b[C]lues

[Verse III]

And It's I don't k[G]now where I'm going
Don't know h[C]ow long this Journey will l[C7]ast
And It's I don't k[G]now where I'm going
The future is o[C]ne big mirror of the p[C7]ast
And I've been l[F]oosing so long it feels like wi[Ab]nning
K[C]ick me again and I'll come up gr[C7]inning
A[C]ll my time I spend stsnding s[Am]till
In a wo[D]rld that's spinning round so fa[G]st

[VERSE IV]

N.C.
And it was on a Sunday mo[C]rning [F]
About a hundred years a[C]go [C7]
The m[F]essage come without a w[Ab]arning
Thought everybody told him [C]so [C7]
The l[F]ast thing that General C[Ab]uster said
when he l[C]ooked up and saw the S[Am]ioux
Was [D]I got the " I don't know there I going
but I'm going n[G]owhere in a h[G7]urry too
A fatal dose of the " I[F] don't know where I'm g[Ab]oing
but I'm going n[C]owhere in a hurry b[Am]lues
T[F]he I don't know where i'm going but I'm going

nowhere in a hurry blues
