You Better Not Go

[Verse 1]
I got to thinkin' last night about that ol' hometown of mine
And all the love I left there all alone
So I packed up this morn' and I caught myself a train
And now at last I'm on my way back home

[Chorus]
But the clickety-clack of the wheels on the track
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"

[Verse 2]
Now the train rolled along and my nerve nearly gone
For I know all the tears I have caused
Is her love still as true or is there somebody new?
Can I still claim her heart or have I lost?

[Chorus]
But the clickety-clack of the wheels on the track
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"

[Verse 3]
I was so wrong to go and my fears seemed to grow
That somebody is now in my place
Will she tell me to say? Will she just turn away?
Will she kiss me or laugh in my face?

[Chorus]
But the clickety-clack of the wheels on the track
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"

[Verse 4]
Well I broke ever vow and she may hate me now
For I've wronged this old world for so long
And I've just got to know if she still loves me so
And forgives me for doing so wrong

[Chorus]
But the clickety-clack of the wheels on the track
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not be going back"

[Outro]
Say "You better not go, you better not go, you better not go, you better not go, you better not go, you better not go, you better not go
