He won't come back today
He won't come back today
There's things to do and people to see
He won't come back today

Some people have way too much
They own some fancy stuff
He knows his ways
Keeps in the shade
Some people they own too much

So he had a real bold plan
He mentioned it to the wrong man
The liquor always won
But now he will be hung
He won't come back today

So his wife, she had a gun
She gave it to her son
Who wasn't scared of feathers and tar
So he walked into that bar
You can guess who finally won

He won't come back today
He won't come back today
There's things to do and people to see
He won't come back today
