03 Can't go back

Music and lyrics written by Sherry Smith

Story

 

At one point in my life I suffered from a lack of ability to take responsibity for my unmanageable life, using half measures like drugs and alcohol to run away from it. One morning I looked in the mirror and simply detested the wretched unhealthy person I saw looking back at me. This song is about being an addictive personality that ''can't go back'' to any of the stuff I was addicted to. It was a long road back and I thank all the people that helped me to learn to accept myself for all the flaws and weakness and to develop the good stuff

 

Lyrics

 

I can't go back go back you see. I can't go back go back it's killing me.

And I can't give you alibis I've just had my fill of lies,

and no I just won't compromise no way.

She's gonna make it this time. She's gonna make it this time.

 

I can't go back down there today. No I can't go back down there Jose

To where the bar room table's full of beer,

the child at home is full of fear, the cop outside is waitin

He's gonna get cha get cha Yeah he's gonna get you child.

 

I can't go back to him today, no I cannot go back to him no way.

To where fear is your reality - strips you of your dignity.

Leaves you feeling lost at sea. I've been there,,,,,, a few times.

 

I can't go back to pain today. Cause I never found no gain no way.

So I guess that I'll just hang in here - until I see my way is clear.

Don't cha know I'm so sincere.

She's gonna make it this time - - She's gonna make it this time

She's gonna make it this time - - She's gonna make it this time   Stop.

Just vocals She's gonna make it this time.
