Won't Be Coming Back

I left my home and family

To seek my fortune fair

I went north into the city

But I didn't find it there

Met a million women

No two were the same

If I had only met the one

That I'd let have my name

All alone on a lonesome, desert highway

My best laid plans had failed

I put my face in a woman

And I wound up in jail

Love, she was a-holding

And I chose to take the blame

I was in and she was gone

But loved her just the same

I've seen a lot of country

And I moved from place to place

I don't remember names

But I can't forget her face

It's not a place that I been to

That I could call my home

An' I can't hope to settle down,

Down seems I'm meant to roam

All those years spent searching for something

Goin' around the bend

All I ever wanted

Was to see her again, yeah

On a go for California

I slept out on the sand

I drove the coastal highways

I drive them all again

An' if you aim to find me

I'll be out on the track

This maybe the last to seeing me

No, we won't be coming back

No, she won't be coming back
