Nothing ever happens in the deserts or the seas/ nothing ever happens to me/ even in the city spending all my winnings/ nothing ever happens to me/ over the limit speeding like I did it/ nothing ever happens to me/ bullets gonna fly and people gonna die but nothing ever happens to me//
Late one night it was a hell of a fright/ this boy pulls his gun on me/ I had a a quicker finger and a pulled my trigger/ dropped him down to his knees/ blood began to trickle and I felt a little sad for the bloke/ just this morning he had no warning that tonight he would be blood soaked//
Maybe I should drive out of here/ go somewhere where my head isn't clear/
Nothing ever happens in the deserts or the seas/ nothing ever happens to me/ even in the city spending all my winnings/ nothing ever happens to me/ over the limit speeding like I did it/ nothing ever happens to me/ bullets gonna fly and people gonna die but nothing ever happens to me//
Day came along I was singing my song/ and in came a hell of a storm/ closed the shutters on the windows barred the doors/ as the black clouds took their form/ in came a tornada and picked up my baby/ blew her right up the street/ the lightning zoomed and the thunder boomed/ took me right off my feet//
All that, not a scratch or broken bone/ I still think I should move and find a new home//
Nothing ever happens in the deserts or the seas/ nothing ever happens to me/ even in the city spending all my winnings/ nothing ever happens to me/ over the limit speeding like I did it/ nothing ever happens to me/ bullets gonna fly and people gonna die but nothing ever happens to me//
