Won'T Be Coming Back

I left my home and family to seek my fortune fair
I went north into the city, but I didn't find it there
I met a million women, and no two were the same
But I have only met the one that I'd let have my name

Out on the lonesome desert highway, my best laid plans have failed
I put my faith in a woman, and I wound up in jail
Though she was a holden, I chose to take the blame
I was in, and she was gone, but I loved her just the same

I've seen a lot of country, and I've moved from place to place
I don't remember names, but I can't forget her face
There's not a place that I've been to that I could call my home
And I can't hope to settle down now, it seems I'm meant to roam

All those years spent searching for something
Gone around the bend
All I ever wanted was to see her again
Yeah

On the Gulf of California, I slept out on the sand
I drove the coastal highways, I'll drive them all again
And if you aim to find me, I'll be out on the track
This may be the last that you see of me, no, I won't be coming back
No, she won't be coming back
