Lyrics:

This old Buicks 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, Im such a mess
Never a mornin person, but that girls 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 didnt believe the words I said

[Chorus:]
I aint ever goin
I aint ever goin
I aint ever goin
Back there, again

Shell put on her makeup and drink from her tea cup
Glance at that silver frame
See, I took our picture and then itll hit her
Shell cry out with pain
Maybe, whisper my name

[Chorus]

No ones gonna make me
Nothings gonna take me
I aint ever goin

Back there, again

Now, dont blame her mama for makin me promise
Dont come around here, no more
She said,
&ampquot;Maybe your lifes gone to hell
But, thats a tour of duty she didnt sign up for
&ampquot;

When you cant save yourself, you save somebody else
Maybe thats how you survive
Im runnin away so she dont have to see
A life in slow-motion suicide
You throw in the towel, they call you a coward
Tell ya fight, dont cut and run
I aint no hero, but the truth is I know
Its the bravest thing Ive ever done
The hardest part is knowing what we could have
Should have become

I aint ever goin
I aint ever goin
I aint ever goin

No ones gonna make me
Nothings gonna take me
I aint ever goin
Goin
To break her heart, again
