Ain't Ever Goin' Back - John Hiatt
Come out of a fireball Notes burning and the letters scrawled I ain't ever goin' back no more Bare light blub 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 And I ain't ever goin' back no more 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 going back no more Wouldn't even try to find that door And 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 I ain't ever goin' back no more I see her face at every shitty bar I have to play to pay for this guitar 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 musn't see I ain't ever goin' back no more I ain't ever goin' back I ain't 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 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 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
