Never Go Home Again

Lyrics

Scatter gun blast, hands 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 the times get hard
 Some good old boys turn to a life a sin
 We're like Robin Hood, we're just twice as good
 But we can never go home again
 Well I grew up singing Amazing Grace
 In a little white church in the woods
 My momma prayed hard for all her boys
 But her praying didn't do a bit of good
 The sheriff and a banker man came to push us off of our land
 Now we'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'll take what I need and then
 I leave the rest to my momma and you
 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 can never go home again
 ♪
 Sometimes I dream of that old front porch
 And my momma patching up a quilt
 While my brothers and me lay around
 In the shade of that live oak tree on the hill
 Now it's hide-out shacks, better watch your back
 And cover every track of where you've been
 A thousand wrongs will never make it right
 I can never go home again
 Lord forgive me, I know just what I do
 I'll take what I need and then
 I leave the rest to my momma and you
 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 can never go home again
 ♪
 Scatter gun blast tears 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
 Here's three new graves underneath the shade of
 That live oak tree on the hill
 Overlooking 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
 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
 God bless an outlaw's weary soul
 I guess I finally made it home again
