Back There Again lyrics
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, again
