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 morning person, but that girl's still in bed
The sheets are tangling - her little arm is dangling
The last dream from her pretty head
I told her I was leaving
She didn't believe the words I said
I ain't ever going
I ain't ever going
I ain't ever going
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 going
I ain't ever going
I ain't ever going
Back there, again
No one's going to make me
Nothing's going to take me
I ain't ever going
Back there, again
Now, don't blame her mama - for making 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 running away so she don't have to see
A life in slow-motion suicide
You throw in the towel - they call you a coward
Tell you - fight, don't cut and run
I aren'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
Should have become
I ain't ever going
I ain't ever going
I ain't ever going
No one's going to make me
Nothing's going to take me
I ain't ever going
Going
To break her heart, again
