Never Going Home Again Lyrics by Nicole Atkins

Italian Ice

2020

[Verse 1]
Woke up feeling half dead in a Hello Kitty bed
In Youngstown, Ohio
Watched a minivan explode
Jimmy saw a U.F.O

[Chorus]
I’m not proud of what I’ve done
You wouldn’t know me if you saw me, Mama
But I’m never going home
Never going home again

[Verse 2]
Bank account’s bleeding while we are sleeping
In another murder motel
Landed on the blacklist of a couple journalists
I’ve met much better people in jail

[Chorus]
I’m not proud of what I’ve done
You wouldn’t know me if you saw me, Mama
But I’m never going home
Never going home again

[Verse 3]
Eyes like an Egyptian tomb, illegal things in hotel rooms
With TV stars that saw better days
Cherished every moment, saw a priest for my atonement
When right back out and did it again

[Verse 4]
Fell into a sinkhole while the sky was raining toads
Still it never slowed my roll
Left the money, kept creative control
For the sake of rock and roll

[Chorus]
I’m not proud of what I’ve done
Someday I hope you can forgive me, Mama
I'm never going home
Never going home again

No, I'm never going home
Never going home again
No, I'm never going home
Never going home again
