This old Buick's like a needle on a compass Pointed due west I remember her smile like June sunflowers And the look of her body as she slipped out of that dress God, I'm such a mess Never a mornin' person, but that girl's still in bed The sheets are tanglin' - her little arm is danglin' The last dream from her pretty head I told her I was leavin' She didn't believe the words I said
I ain't ever goin' I ain't ever goin' I ain't ever goin' Back there, again
She'll put on her makeup and drink from her tea cup Glance at that silver frame See, I took our picture and then it'll hit her She'll cry out with pain Maybe, whisper my name
[Repeat Chorus]
No one's gonna make me Nothing's gonna take me I ain't ever goin' Back there, again
Now, don't blame her mama - for makin' me promise Don't come around here, no more She said, "maybe your life's gone to hell But, that's a tour of duty she didn't sign up for"
When you can't save yourself, you save somebody else Maybe that's how you survive I'm runnin' away so she don't have to see A life in slow-motion suicide You throw in the towl - they call you a coward Tell ya - fight, don't cut and run I ain't no hero, but the truth is I know It's the bravest thing I've ever done The hardest part is knowing what we could have Shoud have become
I ain't ever goin' I ain't ever goin' I ain't ever goin'
No one's gonna make me Nothing's gonna take me I ain't ever goin' Goin' To break her heart, againTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
