The consequences of trying to reclaim the past

lyrics

Can't Go Back

It's been sometime since I walked this town
I've been standing on the landing with my head hung down
waiting for a chance just to get out son
I've been here three minutes and it's been too long,
Too many ghosts too many memories
Too many places where I used to be
Now the wind's blown down and empty street
There's nowhere to go no one to meet
Chorus
I ain't gonna go back x3
To my home town

Well my momma's dead and my father too
I haven't seen my brother since 1992
My sister ran off just last spring
I wrote her three times haven't heard a thing
The school's closed and the factory shut down
There's nothing to keep me here in my home town
But Anna's golden hair still shines like the sun
She's got two kids a girl and a son
chorus

I left when I was 21
Left just like a bullet when it leaves a gun
I wanted to try my luck
So I got me a ride on an interstate truck
There were letters and an occasional call
But she met another man and ended it all
It's strange when I see her again
I get that old feeling from way back when
chorus
