From the recording ED HARTMAN'S PANDEMIC HOLIDAY ALBUM!
Yes, I am singing on this. I only sing Belafonte and Blues. I created this at the beginning of the pandemic. Hopefully, after this is over you will have to NEVER listen to it again! Murphy Dunn (Blues Bros.) did say he liked my piano playing - High praise, indeed!)
Lyrics
I Got Nowhere to Go, In a Hurry Blues!

Chorus:
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
In a hurry blues.
Verse 1:
Well the stores are all closed,
The cities locked down,
I can’t go to work,
Cause my day-job is gone.
My cars in the shop,
The bars are no more,
If I don’t get out,
I’ll break down my door.
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
In a hurry blues.
Verse 2:
The politicians are fighting,
The mayors upset,
The Landlord’s waiting,
to get out of debt.
The doctors are frightened,
The hospitals filled,
I’m washing my hands,
Till my fingers are drilled.
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
In a hurry blues.
Verse 3:
The groceries mobbed,
The pharmacy’s in distress,
There’s no more bread,
And the toilet papers a mess.
I gotta confess,
I’m going a little nuts,
Each day that goes by,
Is kicking me in the butt.
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
In a hurry blues.
Chorus:
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
I Got Nowhere to Go,
In a hurry blues.
