8/12/25: "Nowhere To Go," by Cape Disappointment

Cape Disappointment is the moniker for Seattle-based songwriter, Jeffrey P. Martin. He writes “raw, honest, stripped-down” songs about places, loss, love, and life. He’s been playing all over the country for more than a decade. Everywhere from New York to Seattle. He is releasing a new song on the 12th of every month this year, and his song for today is called “Nowhere To Go”

All I want is to just get lost

Leaving’s just too hard I’ll get a job

It should feel like a sense of accomplishment

Instead, I feel like I am stuck

with nowhere to go 

I don’t want to leave

With nowhere to go

I just want to drive

had the same job for a decade

had the same apartment for five years

Even though I’ll want to start again

Get into the car and just drive

go ahead and open the door

get in and make sure you’re secure

start the car and put into drive

press the gas until it hits the floor
