Well I left this town said I'd never come back
Took me a ride on a one-way track
I was on my way big city bound
Where the money flows in the neon nights
With the diamond girls and Cadillac lights
There I was paradise found
But all that glitters sure ain't gold
Man that city can sure get cold and lonely
I've been across this land and back again
I've been more places than the blowing wind
One thing I learned never say never again
I spent more time lost than I did found
Now I'm headed back to my home town
With a lesson learned never say never again
[ fiddle ]
Well I tasted love but I never could stay
Guess I broke some hearts along the way
I had it all wrong thinking it's all right
Then a pretty little girl with innocent eyes
She stole away with this heart of mine
She left me crying in the night
You gotta taste the bitter with the sweet
I'm telling you man that crow's tough meat to chew
I've been across this land and back again
I've been more places than the blowing wind
One thing I learned never say never again
When love gives me another chance to play
I'll be ready to give my heart away
With a lesson learned never say never again
[ guitar ]
I've been more places than the blowing wind
One thing I learned never say never again
I lost some battles and some I've won
Been a jack of all trades but I mastered one
The thing I learned never say never again
Yeah the lesson learned never say never again
Now I know never say never again
