Everybody says to take that train home and
Aren't you tired of being alone
Tell em I'll be on my way, and
I'm gonna stay for a couple days
But I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
But I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
My lonely feet they keep on movin'
Even though I'm wondering what you're doin'
The kind of life that you've been living
Makes me feel like you've been less than giving
And I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
But I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
Been wastin' time, gamblin' all night
My chips are down but the whiskey's just right
She's gonna think that I've been slippin'
But really, I'm just drinkin'
And I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
But I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
Then I think about where I'll be when
Dusk has fallen and I'm an old man
I looked back to see what was missing
And I was glad to see it wasn't a damn thing
And I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
But I know,
I ain't ever goin' home
