I Don’t Wanna Go Back
Trevor Baker
What surrounds me tries to offer
What a man just can’t turn down
And says I’m no more than a pauper
If I don’t go right to town
But I’m looking for a treasure
That this earth cannot contain
And one day they’re going to know for certain
That my search was not in vain
Yes I’ll admit it used to twinkle
And fill my mind each waking hour
But in it all there was one wrinkle
That kinda’ made the whole thing sour
You could never get where you’re going
The line kept moving all the time
Just when you thought
You were going forward
You’d see the dust
And you were far behind
Chorus
And I don’t wanna go back
On that endless track
‘Cause God filled in all the holes
And there ain’t nothin’ that I lack
No, I don’t have all their toys
My house is small, my car’s compact
But when it comes to livin’ free
I’m pretty sure I’ve found the knack
I’ve go a wife that’s such a vision
Two grown kids that honor God
If there’s something that I’m missin’
I wish you luck on your sales job
‘Cause I’ve lived like the other half does
When all I had was out of whack
If you could bottle what I’ve got going
I’d have the best stuff on the rack
I hear Heaven’s got some condos
And one incredible landlord
So when you’re talkin’ Vegas lottos
I just might yawn when I get bored
‘Cause I know just where they’re goin’
Yes, I recognize the plot
And my attention is now honed in
On a different kind of spot
