I Won't Go Back

I won't go back
To the folks I used to know
To the places that I've been
To the things I used to do
I won't go back
To the thought that time had changed
To the emptiness and blind rage
To the drunk and wasted days
To living for this waiting
To giving up tomorrow
I won't go back
To the beauty that soon decayed
A familiar ball and chain
To a ready-made romance
I won't go back
To the times of buying time
To the high of fevered happiness
To the waste of living then
To living for this waiting
To giving up tomorrow
Let's blow this joint
And start a fire
Let's take over
True man's desire
Let me head back
Over time
Let's blow this joint
And start a fire
Let's take over
True man's desire
Let me head back
Over time
I won't go back
To the folks I used to know
To the places that I've been
To the face I used to show
I won't go back
To the thought that time had changed
To the emptiness and blind rage
To the drunk and wasted days
To living for this waiting
To giving up tomorrow
To living for this waiting
To giving up tomorrow
