Blake Shelton - Back There Again lyrics

rate me

This old Buick's like the needle on a compass pointed due west

I remember her smile like June sunflowers

The look of her body as she slipped out that dress

God, I'm such a mess

Never a mornin' person but that girl's still in bed

Sheets are tanglin', little arm is janglin'

The last dream from her pretty head, I told her I was leavin'

She didn't believe the words I said

I ain't ever goin'

I ain't ever goin'

I ain't ever goin'

Back there again

She'll put on her makeup and drink from her tea cup

Glance at that silver frame

See, I took our picture and then it'll hit her

She'll cry out with pain, maybe whisper my name

I ain't ever goin'

I ain't ever goin'

I ain't ever goin'

Back there again

No one's gonna make me

Nothing's gonna take me

I ain't ever goin'

Back there again

Now, don't blame her mama for makin' me promise

Don't come around here no more

She said, "Maybe your life's gone to hell

But that's a tour of duty she didn't sign up for"

When you can't save yourself you save somebody else

Maybe that's how you survive

I'm runnin' away so she don't have to see

A life in slow motion suicide

You throw in the towel, they call you a coward

Tell you, Fight, don't cut and run

Well, I ain't no hero, but the truth is I know

It's the bravest thing I've ever done

The hardest part is knowing

What we could have and should have become

I ain't ever goin'

I ain't ever goin'

I ain't ever goin'

Back there

No one's gonna make me

Nothing's gonna take me

I ain't ever goin'

Goin' to break her heart again
