Lyrics Blake Shelton – Back There Again
Text:
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
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
Repeat Chorus
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
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
