ain't never goin' back

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
