Back There Again

Album:Pure BS

Blake Shelton-Back There Again

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'

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'

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 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'

No one's gonna make me

Nothing's gonna take me

I ain't ever goin'

Goin'

To break her heart again
