Going Back

I dont want to play the part of the rover again

Where I leave at the very idea of dramatic episodes

I am in a home, not my own

surrounded by many, but still alone

But if I leave, if i leave this place

I cant go back

Back to where my roots still lay

I can make it as a family man

but will the law permit such a thing

The handcuffs long for the company of my wrist once more

and the jail cell calls out for me

I cant go back

Back to where nothing is sacred and all is lost

I recall a summer of blurry nights

and not existant days

Where carelessness was the main topic of discussion

When the girls came and went

but a brotherly bond never faded

When we swore to never look back, but always remember

I cant go back

Back to innocence dashed with juvenile deliquency

and I cant go back
