When You Leave That Way You Can Never Go Back - Remastered Version

I remember waking in the morning
 To the sound of a rooster's crow
 Mama cooking in the kitchen
 And Arthur Gothrie on the radio
 Me and dad were just like strangers
 We never did see eye to eye
 It came to blows one Sunday morning
 So I packed my bags and I said goodbye
 And when you leave that way you can never go back
 A train won't run on a torn up track
 Some times 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 date
 Left her standing at the altar
 With a baby on the way...
 And when you leave that way you can never go back
 A train won't run on a torn up track
 Some times 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 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 that 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 that way you can never come home.
 All through eternity you'll roam alone
 'Cause when you leave that way you can never come home.
