The I Dont Know Where Im Going But Im Going Nowhere In A Hurry Blues

Steve Goodman

Transposer:

[Verse I] Miss Beverly Jones had a PHD in Physics And She went to town to look for some work Everyplace she applied said that she was qualified To be a secretary or a clerk And the word got out on the day she was born But she was twenty-five years getting the news And had the "I don’t know where I’m going but I’m going nowhere in a hurry" blues [Verse II] My friend Fred felt lucky last Tuesday And he took himself on out to the track He was armed with a hot tip and a hundred dollar bill But that fool had to hitch hike back The horse that he bet on was leading all the way Then he tossed off one of his shoes That horse had the " I don’t know where I going but I’m going nowhere in a hurry" blues [Verse III] And It’s I don’t know where I’m going Don’t know how long this Journey will last And It’s I don’t know where I’m going The future is one big mirror of the past And I’ve been loosing so long it feels like winning Kick me again and I’ll come up grinning All my time I spend stsnding still In a world that’s spinning round so fast [Verse IV] And it was on a Sunday morning     About a hundred years ago        The message come without a warning Thought everybody told him so    The last thing that General Custer said when he looked up and saw the Sioux Was I got the " I don’t know there I going but I’m going nowhere in a hurry too A fatal dose of the " I don’t know where I’m going but I’m going nowhere in a hurry blues The I don’t know where i’m going but I’m going nowhere in a hurry blues

Cette chanson évoque la désillusion et la confusion que l'on peut ressentir en cherchant sa voie dans la vie. On y suit l'histoire de personnages, comme Beverly Jones, qui malgré leurs qualifications se retrouvent bloqués dans des rôles inadaptés, et Fred, qui se laisse emporter par sa chance au jeu, mais finit par perdre. Le refrain souligne cette incertitude face à l'avenir, avec une impression de tourner en rond tout en avançant lentement. Les protagonistes vivent des défis et des revers, se rendant compte que le chemin semble parfois plus important que la destination elle-même. Ce sentiment d'errance est universel et intemporel, rappelant qu'il est normal de se sentir perdu à certains moments de sa vie.
