I Don't Go Back Anymore

George Jones · And Along Came Jones [1991]

A friend of mine told me that you were down here last night

I almost called him a liar but I see he was right,

Yeah, he was right.



I'm over my anger but that's about all

It's hard to recover from that kind of fall

A fool never knows when to give up

For years I remember those long nights of love



But I don't go back, anymore

My heart's locked it's windows and bolted it's door

It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore

No I, don't go back anymore



You're still just as pretty as you were back then

If I didn't know you, I'd fall again

So don't smile and tell me that you still care

Don't stir up my feelings, it just isn't fair



I don't go back, anymore

My heart's locked it's windows and bolted it's door

It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore

No I, don't go back, anymore



No I, don't go back, anymore



A friend of mine told me you might be down here tonight
