Notes burning and the letters scrawled
I ain't ever goin' back no more
Bare light blub and a hotplate
Was there that I finally met my fate
And I ain't ever goin' back no more
She danced the room and she made it fine
I sang a song about a crooked line
And I ain't ever goin' back no more
She's my first love and she's my last
Don't ask me how it ever came to pass
'Cause I ain't ever goin' back no more
I ain't going back no more
Wouldn't even try to find that door
And I ain't ever goin' back no more
I don't care what the past has in store
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I ain't ever goin' back no more
A pint of gin and a long bus trip
Somebody said you just get over it
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I see her face at every shitty bar
I have to play to pay for this guitar
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I'm singing every song for her tonight
So bartender would you hit the lights
'Cause I ain't ever goin' back no more
A little something to remember me
It's been so long Lord she musn't see
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I ain't ever goin' back
I ain't goin' back no more
Wouldn't even try to find that door
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I don't care what the past has in store
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I ain't ever goin' back no more
Dust settles in a darkened room
Whiskey steals away the sense of doom
I ain't ever goin' back no more
We made love and we made hate
Never could seem to get it straight
I ain't ever goin' back no more baby
You're branded on my soul and in my mind
I keep running up and down this old fence line
I ain't ever goin' back no more
Only one thing in my life is true
Honey I will remember you
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I ain't ever goin' back no more
Wouldn't even try to find that door
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I don't care what the past has in store
I ain't ever goin' back no more
I ain't ever goin' back no more
Come out of a fireball Notes burning and the letters scrawled I ain't ever goin' back no more Bare light blub and a hotplate Was there that I finally met my fate And I ain't ever goin' back no more She danced the room and she made it fine I sang a song about a crooked line And I ain't ever goin' back no more She's my first love and she's my last Don't ask me how it ever came to pass 'Cause I ain't ever goin' back no more I ain't going back no more Wouldn't even try to find that door And I ain't ever goin' back no more I don't care what the past has in store I ain't ever goin' back no more I ain't ever goin' back no more A pint of gin and a long bus trip Somebody said you just get over it I ain't ever goin' back no more I see her face at every shitty bar I have to play to pay for this guitar I ain't ever goin' back no more I'm singing every song for her tonight So bartender would you hit the lights 'Cause I ain't ever goin' back no more A little something to remember me It's been so long Lord she musn't see I ain't ever goin' back no more I ain't ever goin' back I ain't goin' back no more Wouldn't even try to find that door I ain't ever goin' back no more I don't care what the past has in store I ain't ever goin' back no more I ain't ever goin' back no more Dust settles in a darkened room Whiskey steals away the sense of doom I ain't ever goin' back no more We made love and we made hate Never could seem to get it straight I ain't ever goin' back no more baby You're branded on my soul and in my mind I keep running up and down this old fence line I ain't ever goin' back no more Only one thing in my life is true Honey I will remember you I ain't ever goin' back no more I ain't ever goin' back no more Wouldn't even try to find that door I ain't ever goin' back no more I don't care what the past has in store I ain't ever goin' back no more I ain't ever goin' back no more Explain Request ×
