Going Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm just a fool - no disguise
I still get hurt - same old pride
But growing older - I've realized
There's not a place - in my life - tonight
(Chorus)
I ain't gonna leave this town no more
I'm sorry for the times that I did before
I'm going back to where my heart came from
I ain't gonna leave this town again
I'm sorry for the things I did but then
I didn't realize where I belonged
Shakin' the blues - every night
Been all alone - no surprise
Don't you forget me - I'm so blind
I'm coming back - one more time - tonight
(Chorus)
If these streets were empty
With nothing to see
You could take me from this town
Oh but you won't take this town out of me
Too many years - can't forget
So many dreams - ain't done yet
An' all of these memories - still the same
I'm going home - and I'll remain - unchanged
(Chorus)
