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
|
