Confederate Railroad - When You Leave That Way lyrics

I remember waking in the morning To the sound of the rooster's crow Mamma cooking in the kitchen Arthur Godfrey on the radio Me and Dad were just like strangers We never did see eye to eye Came to blows one Sunday morning So I packed my bags and I said goodbye CHORUS When you leave that way you can never go back A train won't run on a torn up track Sometimes I wish I'd never roamed,oh no 'Cause when you leave that way you can never go home Then I met a girl in Knoxville (You Can Never Go Back) Oh, we set our wedding day I left her standing at the alter With a baby on the way REPEAT CHORUS Lord I'd love to see my mom and daddy And what I'd give to hold that boy of mine I'd get down on my knees and I'd say I'm sorry If I could only go back one more time But I k**ed a man in Houston When he caught me with his wife And I told the preacher man to leave me alone When he came to read my rights CHORUS He said son,when you leave this way you can never come back A soul won't roll on a torn up track All through eternity you'll roam alone 'Cause when you leave this way you can never come home All through eternity you'll roam alone 'Cause when you leave this way you can never come home
