Text: George Jones. I Don't Go Back Anymore.

A friend of mine told me
That you were down here, last night
I almost called him a liar but I seen he was right
Yeah, he was right

I'm over my anger but that's about all
It's hard to recover from that kind of fall
A fool never knows when to give up
For years I remember those long nights of love

But, I don't go back anymore
My heart's locked its windows and bolted its door
It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore
No, I don't go back anymore

You're still just as pretty as you were back then
If I didn't know you, I'd fall again
So, don't smile and tell me that you still care
Don't stir up my feelings, it just isn't fair

I don't go back anymore
My heart's locked its windows and bolted its door
It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore
No, I don't go back anymore
No, I don't go back anymore

A friend of mine told me you might be down here tonight
