about

Being left hanging in the wind from a broken bond while questioning everything you know. It’s making the leap from living on the wrong side of nowhere to finding a place where you belong.

lyrics

THERE I WAS
There I was in Chula Vista
used my last piece of good luck
looking for a little resurrection
to get myself unstuck

It was a town of one too many
a place with no point of view
punched my ticket to the promised land
thought every word you said was true

Seems like I’m living on the wrong side of nowhere
no roots in the ground
yeah, I’m living on the wrong side of nowhere
the lost that can’t be found

Left me here with empty pockets
a ring short of a wedding band
staring at the wreckage all around me
‘bout to make my last stand

Seems like I’m living on the wrong side of nowhere
no roots in the ground
yeah, I’m living on the wrong side of nowhere
The lost that can’t be found

BRIDGE:
did you get what you wanted
did you mean to set me free
your escape route just wasn’t
always clear to me.

Not sure where I go from here
what I am looking for
will I even recognize it
If it walked right through the door

I’m tired of living on the wrong side of nowhere
putting my roots in the ground
no more living on the wrong side of nowhere
the lost that’s been found
I was lost but now I’m found

mike ward Detroit, Michigan

Lyrically-centric, vocally-charged folk songs. Those are what singer-songwriter Mike Ward loves to create. Living in Detroit, Mike grew up listening to Irish music. Influences are Jason Isbell, Bruce Springsteen and John Prine. His writing echoes along empty sidewalks, on country backroads, in family portraits, and in the thin lines between joy and tragedy, love and loss, past, present and future. ... more
