Steve Earle
Neverland
It's been fifteen hundred days and nights
Since last I saw her face
Some times I find myself
In an old familiar place
The room is fading black
Too dark for me to see
Then I hear a voice in the corner callin' out to me

No don't go back to Neverland
Where wishes don't come true
And nothin' ever happens there
The way you want it to
Well it's so hard to understand
Why things don't work out right
If you go back to Neverland
You'll kiss your dreams goodbye

A friend of mine she called me up
And cried into the phone
She met someone who touched her
In a way she's never known
Well she told me as her tears fell down
That it could never be
She'd made another promise
She felt she had to keep
Don't ever go to Neverland
Where wishes don't come true
And nothin' ever happens there
The way you want it to
You'll sit down, you'll settle back
You'll miss the world go by
Step inside of Neverland
And kiss your dreams goodbye

I watch you struggle
You're havin' such a hard time
You've seen too much too soon
And it makes me wanna cry
I know you're tryin' baby
To find out where you fit
You're smart, you're cool
You're nobody's fool
So baby don't worry bout it

Just stay away from Neverland
Where wishes don't come true
And nothin' ever happens there
The way you want it to
Well I've been in and out that door
At least a thousand times
Baby please don't go to Neverland
You'll kiss your dreams goodbye
You'll kiss your dreams goodbye
