Can't Go Home

Waylon and Willie two

They say home is where the heart is, Mama

Made it out of that snake pit

Now snake skin on these boot tips

I see loose lips sank the last ship

So I set sail on a new trip

Some mistakes I'll never make again

Circle lock, no one breakin' in

I gotta sit back and try to take it in

I know perseverance what it take to win

Hard to push when the world pull

When the ones you love, they try to burn you

Death comin', smell the perfume

Try to make it home before the curfew

I was runnin' late and the doors was locked

And the windows too, nowhere to turn to

After all the money, I done burned through

I woke up broke on a church pew

With a new goal and no .45

Fire in my eyes and some hunger pangs

I spent my younger days just chasin' fame

To get burnt by the flames that money brings

Blazed trails and I torched bridges

Ain't no turnin' back and I've moved on

Home is where the heart is

I've been heartless too long, momma

Mama says you can't go home, can't go home

You can't go home (Go home)

Mama says you can't go home, can't go home

Can't go home

I've spent some time in the house of the risin' sun

Mirror on the wall, I'm in fear of what I've become

Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from

Mama says you can't go home, you can't go

I've spent some time in the house of the risin' sun

Mirror on the wall, I'm in fear of what I've become

Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from

Mama says you can't go home, you can't go home

Early in the mornin', breath stankin' and yawnin'

I feel last night from the drinks and the Yoda

Heart beatin' so fast, I was thinkin' it's over

Now my first thought is that I hate that I'm sober

Dealin' with the demons that I can't get control of

Dealin' with the ones that I can't get ahold of

How many day away from committin' a hold-up

Till we be patient and even haters will show love

My brother told me, "Bubba, get that check"

And don't worry about the bullshit cuz you got next

Then we know when you get it that you gon' flex

Still I feel overlooked like the New York Jets

Pay attention to them homies when they want for ya

Back bitin' and actin' like they get along with ya

But as soon as you catch a case and you end up in the place

The muthafucka won't even hit the phone for ya

I've done seen 'em stand tall and I done seen 'em fall

You can't tell me shit, I done seen it all

I ain't worried about the chips, you can keep 'em all

But I promise you this, I'ma bring it raw

I'm just tryin' to put my people on

I'm just tryin' to buy some property from singin' songs

Tryin' to wake up from the cloud I've been dreamin' on

And I ain't plan on goin' back when I was leavin' home

Mama says you can't go home, can't go home

You can't go home

Mama says you can't go home, can't go home

Can't go home

I've spent some time in the house of the risin' sun

Mirror on the wall, I'm in fear of what I've become

Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from

Mama says you can't go home, you can't go home

Can't go home

I've spent some time in the house of the risin' sun

Mirror on the wall, I'm in fear of what I've become

Same thing I'm livin' for, same thing I'm dyin' from

Mama says you can't go home, can't go home
