Can't Go Back Home - Tony Joe White, Shelby Lynne

Pack my suitcase, pair of boots

Slip out the backdoor, nothing to lose

Full moon rising out on the road

Ain’t carrying nothing but this heavy load

Turning loose of the ties that bind

Feeling turmoil in my mind

But I can’t look back, these times are gone

I know, I can’t go back home

My granddaddy he mends his fence

He stands tall but he’s kind of bent

His hands are worn, but they are strong

Takes care of his place, he lives alone

I’m sure he wonders what’s happened to me

He’s keeping it real, I’m living a dream

He checks the cows, Lord, he’s up at dawn

But I know I can’t go back home

There was a storm the other night

Had to talk to God, try to set things right

Church door was locked, Lord, I stood in the rain

Waiting for an answer but it never came

I believe in living, give it all I got

I’m strong enough except when I’m not

Little piece of daylight, time to move on

It’s just a reminder, I can’t go back home

Just a reminder

I can’t go back home

Just a reminder

I can’t go back home

I can’t go back home

No going home

Can’t go back home
