Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, 1969
Written by Neil Young
A statement of disillusionment, this country rocker was born of Young's growing contempt for the music establishment in Los Angeles, but the lyrics are vague enough that it touches a universal chord of wanting to get out of a rut. "I gotta get away / From this day-to-day running around." The narrator wants to get back home, for a special woman who's back there, or just to pass the time where it's slow and breezy.
