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
