| Haven’t been home in four years
|
| I’ve forgotten the road that takes me there
|
| Haven’t seen a face like yours in a long time
|
| Hell, I’ve seen the hungry on the streets
|
| Hell, I’ve been the hungry on the streets
|
| I’ve seen everything from here to the midnight
|
| But I ain’t going back this time
|
| I ain’t going back this time
|
| I ain’t going back
|
| I’ve been holdin' on this lonely blues
|
| Just to try and make a buck or two
|
| Just to try and make enough for a nice bed tonight
|
| I’ve met men in every dirty pub
|
| In the corners of every city slum
|
| I’ve stayed with the prince of Thailand through the summertime
|
| But I ain’t going back this time
|
| I ain’t going back this time
|
| I ain’t going back
|
| These boots been movin' much to fast
|
| But I think I’ll stay and share a glass
|
| Can I stay with you in your nice bed tonight?
|
| In fact these boots they haven’t touched the ground
|
| Never been taught to stick around
|
| But I think I’ll stay and settle down for a while
|
| 'Cause I ain’t going back this time
|
| I ain’t going back this time |
