When You Leave That Way You Can Never Go Back - Confederate Railroad
[Intro]
[D]
[Verse 1]
[D] I remember waking in the morning, to the sound of the rooster's[A] crow
Mamma [A]cooking in the kitchen, Arthur Godfrey on the [D]radio
Me and [D]Dad were just like strangers, we never did see eye to [A]eye
Came to [A]blows one Sunday morning, so I packed my bags and I said good[D]bye[F][G][D]
|[Chorus]
|When you leave that way you can never go [Em]back
|[A] A train won't run on a torn up [D]track
|Sometimes I wish I'd never [G]roamed, [D]oh [Em]no
|[A]'cause when you leave that way you can never go [D]home
[Verse 2]
Then I met a girl in [D]Knoxville, oh, we set our wedding [A]day
I left her standing at the [A]alter, with a baby on the [D]way
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[G]Lord I'd love to [A]see my mom and [D]daddy
And [G]what I'd give to [A]hold that boy of [Bm]mine
I'd [G]get down on my [A]knees and say I'm [D]sorry
If [E]I could only go back one more [A]time[D]
[Verse 3]
But I [D]killed a man in Houston, when he caught me with his [A]wife
[A]And I told the preacher man to leave me alone
When he [A]came to read my [D]rights, He said son,
|[Chorus 2]
|When you leave this way you can never come [Em]back
|[A]A soul won't roll on a torn up [D]track
|All through eternity you'll [G]roam[D] a[Em]lone
|[A]'cause when you leave this way you can never come [D]home
[Outro]
All through eternity you'll [G]roam[D] a[Em]lone
[A]'cause when you leave this way you can never come [Bm]home
