Lyrics Near Nelson - John Landau & The Giants
I
got
the
letter
that
you
sent
me
yesterday.
Didn′t
have
to
read
it
'cause
I
knew
just
what
you′d
say.
You
said,
"I'm
sorry—'bout
the
way
this
has
to
be.
But
I′m
telling
you,
baby
we′re
through—
Until
you
come
back
home
to
me.
You
know
you're
nowhere
when
you′re
Near
Nelson—
And
you
know
there's
nothing
that
can
change
the
way
I
feel.
And
if
there′s
no
way
that
you
can
find—
A
way
to
swallow
your
bitter
pride—
Then
there's
never
no
way,
baby,
that
you′ll
ever
be
coming
back."
I
looked
at
the
address
on
the
letter
that
you
wrote.
I
could
see
a
tearstain
like
a
blossom
on
the
envelope.
Your
tear
fell—as
you
finished
up
the
line—
Where
it
says
where
I've
been
stayin'—
Since
I′ve
been
wasting
all
my
time.
"You
know
you′re
nowhere
when
you're
Near
Nelson—
And
you
know
there′s
nothing
that
can
change
the
way
I
feel.
And
if
there's
no
way
that
you
can
find—
A
way
to
swallow
your
bitter
pride—
Then
there′s
never
no
way,
baby,
that
you'll
ever
be
coming
back."
I
found
out
fast—loneliness
is
hard—
Please
take
me
back.
Nelson′s
not
so
far.
"You
know
you're
nowhere
when
you're
Near
Nelson—
And
you
know
there′s
nothing
that
can
change
the
way
I
feel.
And
if
there′s
no
way
that
you
can
find—
A
way
to
swallow
your
bitter
pride—
Then
there's
never
no
way,
baby,
that
you′ll
ever
be
coming
back."
And
I
say:
"If
there's
no
way
that
you
can
find—
A
way
to
swallow
your
bitter
pride—
Then
there′s
never
no
way,
baby,
that
I'll
ever
be
coming
back—
No,
there′s
never
no
way,
baby,
that
I'll
ever
be
coming
back."
