Packing my suitcase, tan boots
Slip out the back door and nothing to loose
Full moon rising out on the road
Ain't carrying nothing but the heavy load
Turn in lose of the ties that bind
Feeling turmol in my mind
But I can't look back, these times are gone
I know, I can't go back home
My grand-daddy he left his things
He stands tall but he's kinda bent
His hands are warm
But they are strong
Takes care of his place, he lives alone
Now I'm sure he wonders what's happen 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 and answer
But it never came
I believe in living, give it all I got
I'm strong enough to except all that
A 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
