Never Go Home Again Lyrics - Cowboy Like Me - Cody Johnson

Scatter gun blast, hands in the air 

Half a million in a burlap sack 

Y'all have a nice day as we make our way 

To the caddy in the ally out back 

See when the times get hard 

Some good old boys turn to a life a sin 

We're like Robin Hood, we're just twice as good 

But we can never go home again 

Well I grew up singing Amazing Grace 

In a little white church in the woods 

My momma prayed hard for all her boys 

But her praying didn't do a bit of good 

The sheriff and a banker man came to push us off of our land 

Now we're six feet deep 

And my brothers and me we can never go home again 

Lord forgive me, I know just what I do 

I'll take what I need and then 

I leave the rest to my momma and you 

And that tin roof cabin might not have been heaven 

But it's closer than I've ever been 

God bless an outlaw's weary soul 

I can never go home again 

Sometimes I dream of that old front porch and my momma patching up a quilt 

While my brothers and me lay around in the shade of that live oak tree on the hill 

Now it's hide-out shacks, better watch your back and cover every track of where you've been 

A thousand wrongs will never make it right, I can never go home again 

Lord forgive me, I know just what I do 

I'll take what I need and then 

I leave the rest to my momma and you 

And that tin roof cabin might not have been heaven 

But it's closer than I've ever been 

God bless an outlaw's weary soul 

I can never go home again 

Scatter gun blast tears a ten inch hole 

Through an empty burlap sack 

As I say my peace for my brothers and me 

My whole world fades to black 

Here's three new graves underneath the shade of 

That live oak tree on the hill 

Overlooking momma's porch with a fresh coat of paint 

And a shiny new Coup De Ville 

Lord forgive me, I know just what I've done 

I've been through hell and found myself on the wrong end of a gun 

And that tin roof cabin might not have been heaven but it's closer than I've ever been 

God bless an outlaw's weary soul, I thought I'd never make it home 

God bless an outlaw's weary soul, I guess I finally made it home again
