[Intro: Josh Joplin]
I changed my name
I had it made
I sold my soul
And I never got paid
[Verse 1: Josh Joplin]
When it's one long line after another
You can't get a green card
And all you want is to lie with your lover
And the distance makes it too hard
[Chorus: Josh Joplin]
What you don't know is
What you don't know is
You can never go back, never go back
You can never go home again
You can never go back, never go back, never go
You can never go home again
[Verse 2: Josh Joplin]
When it's one headache after another
You can't get a green light
And all you want is to lie with your lover
Make everything alright, alright
[Chorus: Josh Joplin]
What you don't know is
What you don't know is
You can never go back, never go back
You can never go home again
You can never go back, never go back, never go
You can never go home again
I'm going home despite
That Thomas Wolfe was right
And I'm going home despite
That Thomas Wolfe was right
And I'm going home despite
That Thomas Wolfe was right
I'm going home despite
That Thomas Wolfe was right
[Outro: Josh Joplin]
I dreamed I jumped
I spoke to God
I overslept
And I got fired from my job
