This Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Haven't been home in four years I've forgotten the road that takes me there Haven't seen a face like yours in a long time Hell, I've seen the hungry on the streets Hell, I've been the hungry on the streets I've seen everything from here to the midnight [Chorus] But I ain't going back this time I ain't going back this time I ain't going back [Verse 2] I've been holdin' on this lonely blues Just to try and make a buck or two Just to try and make enough for a nice bed tonight I've met men in every dirty pub In the corners of every city slum I've stayed with the prince of Thailand through the summertime [Chorus] But I ain't going back this time I ain't going back this time I ain't going back [Verse 3] These boots been movin' much to fast But I think I'll stay and share a glass Can I stay with you in your nice bed tonight? In fact these boots they haven't touched the ground Never been taught to stick around But I think I'll stay and settle down for a while [Chorus] 'Cause I ain't going back this time I ain't going back this time
