Back There Again - Blake Shelton

This old Buick’s like a needle on a compass

Pointed due west

I remember her smile like June sunflowers

And the look of her body as she slipped out of that dress

God, I’m such a mess

Never a mornin’person, but that girl’s still in bed

The sheets are tanglin'- her little arm is danglin'

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

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 towl — they call you a coward

Tell ya — fight, don’t cut and run

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

Shoud have become

I ain’t ever goin'

I ain’t ever goin'

I ain’t ever goin'

No one’s gonna make me Nothing’s gonna take me I ain’t ever goin'

Goin'

To break her heart, again
