Lyrics Don't Wanna Go Home - Great Big Sea

Don't Wanna Go Home

I don’t wanna go home!
Don’t bring the lights up, don’t ring the bell
Once the whistle has blown;
God only knows when we’ll meet here again!
Tell the band not to stop
Tell the curtain, don’t drop
Keep the barstool King
High on his throne!
I don’t wanna go Home!
Don’t wanna leave till it’s all said and done
Guess I should have known:
I’d want to stay until we’d seen the sun
It’s just the moment to make:
This perfect mistake
Until we spend hours alone
I don’t want to go home
It’s a matter of fact:
You can never look back
It’s a lesson that some never learn
But I won’t forget it
I won’t be caught treading
On the bridges that I myself burned
It’s a matter of fact:
You can never look back
It’s a lesson that some never learn
But I won’t forget it
I won’t be caught treading
On the bridges that I myself burned
I don’t wanna go home!
I’ve been gone forever, I don’t wanna face
All the punches I’ve thrown
And all the wounded who fueled my escape
Tell the band not to stop
Tell the curtain, don’t drop
Keep the barstool King
High on his throne!
'Cause somewhere in the dark
There’s a well-broken heart
Who’s willing to cast the first stone
I don’t want to go home
I don’t want to go home
No I don’t want to go home
I don’t want to go home!
