You cheated on yourself With some strangers again You can talk all about nothing Until the bells are ring I watched you fall in love With anyone who would talk to you And you know that record skipping Until the night is through Baby don't you go Baby don't you go back there Baby don't you go back to the pain He beat you on the streets And wrote you poetry from jail Got out and sold the motorcycle And went straight back to hell Some friends shot him down Cuz he didnt have the money Couldn't put him in the ground Cuz he didn't have enough money Baby don't you go Baby don't you go back there Baby don't you go back to the pain You always wanted just to show him off Until your face curled like a fist Now you can't even tell him off Anyway he never listened You could hear your own heart beating Maybe you could just listen to yourself Now you scream at your baby Just because she was born And you can't trust yourself With your best friends man You went a home with the ball bat Because he called you by a different name Now you're underneath the gunrack And everythings the same again Baby don't you go Baby don't you go back there Baby don't you go back to the pain Now the light is belly shinin' You tried not to shut it out You'll do whatever it takes To keep both feet on the ground Nobodys comin' back And when the night is young You can hear those engines running And then you're off again Baby don't you go Baby don't you go back there Baby don't you go back to the pain
