Never Go Home Again

Scattered gun blasts, tens in the air

Half a million in a burlap sack

Y'all have a nice day as we make our way

To the Caddy in the alley out back

See, when times get hard

Some good ol' boys turn to a life of sin

Like Robin Hood, we're just twice as good

But we could never go home again

Well, I grew up singin' Amazing Grace

In a little white church in the woods

My momma prayed hard for all of her boys

But prayin' didn't do a bit of good

The sheriff and the banker man

Came to push us off of our land

And now they're six feet deep

And my brothers and me

We can never go home again

Lord, forgive me

I know just what I do

I take what I need and then I leave

The rest to my momma and you

That tin roof cabin

Might not have been Heaven

But it's closer than I've ever been

God bless an outlaw's weary soul

I can never go home again

Sometimes, I dream of that old front porch

And my momma patchin' up a quilt

While my brothers and me lay around in the shade

Of that live oak tree on the hill

Now it's hideout shacks

Better watch your back

And cover every track of where you've been

A thousand wrongs won't ever make it right

I can never go home again

Lord, forgive me

I know just what I do

I take what I need and then I leave

The rest to my momma and you

That tin roof cabin

Might not have been Heaven

But it's closer than I've ever been

God bless an outlaw's weary soul

I can never go home again

Scattergun blasters, a ten-inch hole

Through an empty burlap sack

As I say my peace for my brothers and me

My whole world fades to black

There's three new graves

Underneath the shade of that live oak tree on the hill

Overlookin' momma's porch

With a fresh coat of paint

And a shiny new Coup De Ville

Lord, forgive me

I know just what I've done

But I've been through Hell and found myself

On the wrong end of a gun

And that tin roof cabin

Might not have been Heaven

But it's closer than I've ever been

God bless an outlaw's weary soul

I thought I'd never make it home again

God bless an outlaw's weary soul

I guess I finally made it home

Again
