Can't Go Back Lyrics

Was raised not too far

From a honky-tonk bar

In a one stop-light town

With charm all around

No one locked their doors

Cloth awnings on stores

My childhood was fun

And I knew everyone

Thoughts of that town and my youth could apply most anywhere

It's a very nice place, but, in truth, I can't go back without a care

In that little world

Gave dating a whirl

But still could not find

Who I had in mind

I turned twenty one

Without finding my love

Left that place behind

And found you in time

In my youth, I loved that town, it was just beyond compare

But returning would be sad, in truth, I can't go back without you there

I can't go back to

Who I was before you

And for that I'm so blessed

You bring out my very best

Took a trip to see

How my life might be

If I had not roamed

And left where I called home

That town lost its star

Can't drink at the bar

Or stop at the light

Without you on my mind

Thoughts of that town and my youth could apply most anywhere

But returning would be sad, in truth, I can't go back without you there

I can't go back without you there
