Lyrics
Don't Come Back
The day that I turned 17
My daddy drew his gun
He said "I think it's time you leave"
So I began to run
He followed me down to the end of the trail
And locked the gate behind me
Fired three shots above my head
Just to remind me
CHORUS
Don't come back! Don't come back!
Don't come back! Don't come back!
Don't come back
Get out and stay out
Don't hit your ass on the door on the way out
Hit the trail
Hit the track
Hit the road and don't come back!
Once I had this little girl
She ain't worth namin'
She said I was her one true love
And that I set her heart ta flamin'
One night we were lying still
Until she broke the silence
She said, "If you aren't outa my sight in 5 minutes little man,
I might resort to violence".
CHORUS
I worked a couple dozen jobs
On my way east to Austin
Worked my way to New Orleans
Then straight on up to Boston
I've worked for kings and I've worked for fools
And though it hurts me to repeat it
They all gave me the same advise,
"Get out of here boy... go on... beat it!"
CHORUS
