I’m Not Coming Back

Pour your words out
Come on, I'm not coming back
Draw the curtains
Come on, that old sun is back
My hometown has cursed me, lately
I'm not coming back

'Cause the last thing that I noticed as that old train came around
Was the city burning golden as the sun came sliding down
And I sat there still, but in my mind
I screamed, "Goodbye, farewell!" to my hometown
I'm not coming back

Fire your engines, come on
There's a race to run
Throw your hat in
Come on, that's the starting gun
My hometown has cursed me, lately
I'm not coming back

'Cause the last thing that I noticed as that old train came around
Was the city burning golden as the sun came sliding down
And I sat there still, but in my mind
I screamed, "Goodbye, farewell!" to my hometown
I'm not coming back

I woke in fright (The moon outside)
Sleep won't come (It don't when you need it)
You just can't tell (You never can, son!)
I hope I'm brave (Hope's no good)
I woke in fright (The moon outside)
Sleep won't come (It don't when you need it)
You just can't tell (You never can, son!)
I hope I'm brave (Hope's no good)
I hope I'm brave
I-I I'm not coming back

'Cause the last thing that I noticed as that old train came around
Was the city burning golden as the sun came sliding down
And I sat there still, but in my mind
I screamed, "Goodbye, farewell!" to my hometown
I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back
