Ain't Ever Goin' Back

Come out of a fireball

Notes burning and the letters scrawled

I ain't ever goin' back no more



Bare light, bulb 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

I ain't ever goin' back no more



And 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 ever going 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



A pint of gin and a long bus trip

Somebody said, "You just get over it"

And I ain't ever goin' back no more



I see her face at every shitty bar

That I have to play to pay for this guitar

And 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 mustn't see

I ain't ever goin' back no more

And I ain't ever goin' back



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



Dust settles in a darkened room

Whiskey steals away the sense of doom

And 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

And 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



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



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



I ever goin' back no more

Ever goin' back no more

Ever goin' back no more
