I Can Never Go Home Anymore Songtext
I'm gonna hide, if she don't leave me alone,
I'm gonna run away.

Don't!
'Cause you can never go home anymore.


Listen. Does this sound familiar?
You wake up every morning,
Go to school every day.
Spend your nights on the corner
Just passing the time away.
Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy.
Then a miracle - a boy.
And that's called "glad."

Now my mom is a good mom
And she loves me with all her heart.
But she said I was too young to be in love And the boy and I would have to part.
And no matter how I ranted and raved,
I screamed, I pleaded, I cried -
She told me it was not really love,
But only my girlish pride.
And that's called "bad."

(Never go home anymore)

Now if that's happened to you, don't let this.
I packed my clothes
And left home that night.
Though she begged me to stay,
I was sure I was right.
And you know something funny?
I forgot that boy right away.
Instead I remember being tucked in bed And hearing my mama say...

(Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
Mama won't go away)

Mama!!!

('Cause you can never go home anymore)
Mama!!!
No, I can never go home anymore

Do you ever get that feeling
You wanna kiss and hug her?
Do it now...
tell her you love her.
Don't do to your mom
what I did to mine.
She grew so lonely in the end.
The angels picked her for their friend.

(Never)
And I can never go home anymore...
And that's called "sad."
