I tried to hang on for as long as I could But now I can see that it just ain't no good Our love it has rotted Right down to the core Whatever we had We don't have it anymore You've got to get off a road to nowhere You've got to get off a road to nowhere I tried and I tried to make things work out right But I guess we're two people who can't help but fight Your eyes they are open And oh so are mine Where both need its freedom Don't you think it's about time I'm trying to get off this road to nowhere I'm trying to get off this road to nowhere I thank you for the good times we've had in the past But we're both old enough to know good times don't last Baby you're just no good for me And I'm no good for you Let's not waste our time talkin' We both know what to do We've got to get off this road to nowhere It's time to get off this road to nowhere You've got to get off this road to nowhere We've got to get off this road to nowhere

"Fire and Rain" is a folk/rock song written and performed by James Taylor. As a song on his second album, Sweet Baby James, the song engendered widespread attention for him. The album was released in February 1970, with the song being released as a single that month. "Fire and Rain" quickly rose to number three on the Billboard hot 100 charts. It was soon covered by Anne Murray, on her album Honey, Wheat and Laughter, also in 1970.
Moody and introspective, "Fire and Rain" became something of a prototype for the singer-songwriter genre that would boom in the few years following its release. Its apocalyptic imagery proved provocative to would-be interpreters. The sparse arrangement, centered on Taylor's ringing acoustic guitar figures, came to represent Taylor's signature sound, and was influential among other performers.
"Fire and Rain" is in the 227th position on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
