Nobody Girl

Lyrics: Ryan Adams, Ethan Johns
Music: Ryan Adams, Ethan Johns

Played by Ryan Adams with Phil Lesh and Friends.

Well, the night makes moves
And it shatters like broken glass
Better play it cool, better let it pass
Have you been screening your smokes?
Or whispers in an all night bar
Better off as the fool
Than the owner of that kind of heart

They don't know you, anyway
They don't know you
And they don't watch you walk away

Just a nobody girl
With a radar to the scene
When the emptiness finds you
You find those numbers you need
Say you follow your heart
Well, honey, you're just being lost
You can follow your gut
Well, how much would it cost?

They don't know you, anyway
They don't know you
They don't watch you walk away

'Cause you're nobody, girl
A nobody girl
A nobody girl

You're nobody, girl
You're nobody, girl
You're nobody, girl

Well the night plays games
And the people, they come and go
Well, they trade in their pieces
For a late-night ride on your rodeo
If your horses could talk
I wonder if they would complain
I know they're rested and ready
They've been going nowhere for days

They don't know you, anyway
They don't know you
They don't even mind the wait

'Cause you're nobody, girl
Nobody, girl
Nobody, girl

You're nobody, girl
Nobody, girl
Nobody, girl
