[Verse 1]
Hear you've been riding, baby
Hear you've been coming 'round my door (Oh, no)
The light's been out though, baby
And I've been long, long gone (Yeehaw)
I'm keen to play with fire, but now I'm not so sure

[Chorus]
Racing down the road that I've been before
I've seen rattlesnakes behind every door
I've been around this world and now everything's a bore
I don't know that much, but I know about keeping score
And if there's one thing I know for sure
It'll be a long, cold day in Hell when I take you back

[Verse 2]
Can you hear the horses, baby?
Stronger than an iron hoof
But this town has always bored me
And baby, that's including you

[Chorus]
Racing down the road that I've been before
I've seen rattlesnakes behind every door
I've been around this world and it's rotten to the core
Hey, I don't know that much, but I know about keeping score
I got a face of gold, I got a heart of coal
But baby, that's my cross to bear
I won't take you back
[Outro]
I won't take you back
I won't take you back
I won't take you back
I won't take you back
I won't take you back
I won't take you back
