When You Leave That Way You Can Never Go Back (LP版) - Confederate Railroad

I remember waking in the morning

To the sound of the rooster's crow

Mama cooking in the kitchen

And Arthur Godfrey on the radio

Me and dad were just like strangers

We never did see eye to eye

He came to blows one Sunday morning

So I packed my bags and I said goodbye

When you leave that way

You can never go back

A train won't run on a torn up track

Sometimes I wish I'd never roamed oh no

'Cause when you leave that

Way you can never go home

Then I met a girl in Knoxville

Oh we set our wedding day

I left her standing at the alter

With a baby on the way

When you leave that way

You can never go back

A train won't run on a torn up track

Sometimes I wish I'd never roamed oh no

'Cause when you leave that

Way you can never go home

Lord I'd love to see my mom and daddy

And what I'd give to hold that boy of mine

I'd get down on my knees

And I'd say I'm sorry

If I could only go back one more time

But I killed a man in Houston

When he caught me with his wife

And I told the preacher

Man to leave me alone

When he came to read my rights

And he said son

When you leave this way

You can never come back

A soul won't roll on a torn up track

All through eternity you'll roam alone

'Cause when you leave this way

You can never come home

All through eternity you'll roam alone

'Cause when you leave this way

You can never come home
