[Intro]
I don't wanna go back
Nobody's gonna push me off track, uh huh
I don't wanna go back
Nobody's gonna push me off track, uh huh
[Verse]
It’s calling me back
House of Sugar
Did they bury me here?
Daddy, don’t let 'em put me down
Daddy, don’t let 'em turn me around
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna go back
Nobody’s gonna push me off track, uh huh
I see what they do
Good people got something to lose, uh huh
I don’t wanna go back
Nobody’s gonna push me off track, uh huh
I don’t wanna be this
Good people gotta fight to exist, uh huh
[Bridge]
I can see it right there right in front of me
I can see it right there right in front of me
I can see it right there right in front of me
I can see it right there right in front of me
I can see it right there right in front of me
I can see it right there right in front of me
I can see it right there right in front of me
I can see it right there right in front of me
[Outro]
I don't wanna go back
Nobody's gonna push me off track, uh huh
I don't wanna go back
Nobody's gonna push me off track, uh huh
I don't wanna go back
