Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - Coming Back lyrics

(S. Van Zandt)

I still remember, baby

Those wild, desperate times

Making love in crazy places

While the town around us died

I played on broken stages

I watched the lonely cry

You danced in iron cages

For the boys with hungry eyes

All those wasted lives

Little by little, baby, we were going down

I swore I'd come back for you

Come back and buy this town

I'm coming back

Back for what's mine

I ain't gonna let nobody stop me this time

No more running baby, I paid for my crime

I'm coming back, baby

Back for what's mine

You were standing at the station

That rainy night I left

You looked so fine, baby

I couldn't catch my breath

Once I started running

I never asked the cost

Too many years and miles

To find out what I'd lost

Some things can't be bought

Everybody's colder now

lt's everywhere I go

I'm getting tired of living

In a world that's got no soul

I'm coming back

Back for what's mine

I ain't gonna let nobody stop me this time

No more running, baby, I paid for my crime

I'm coming back, baby

Back for what's mine

I don't want to confuse you

If you found something else

But I don't want to lose you

Just when I found myself

Everybody's colder now

lt's everywhere I go

I just don't want to live

In a world that's got no soul

I'm coming back

Back for what's mine

I ain't gonna let nobody stop me this time

No more running, baby, I paid for my crime

I'm coming back, baby

Back for what's mine

I'm coming, baby

I'm coming, baby

I'm coming, baby

I'm coming, baby
