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
