never go back

I come from the country

where my father was a farmer

and I assumed I'd be a farmer too

for the rest of my days

now I don't mean to panic

like some old false alarmer

but I'm afraid I'm losing

my old country ways

and I can never go back

never go back

never go back

anymore

my daddy took sick

in my ninth grade year of schoolin'

I thought I'd stay home

to attend to his needs

but the money ran out

and set the farm to ruin

so I moved to the city

home to a rougher breed

and I can never go back

never go back

never go back

anymore

and I can never go back

never go back

never go back

to who I was before
