written by Lucinda Williams

Roy Bittan       accordion

Buddy Miller     mando guitar/acoustic guitar

Don't wanna see you again or hold your hand

Cause you don't really love me you're not my man

You're not my man oh you're not my man

Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville

You scream and shout and you make a scene

When you open your mouth you never say what you mean

Say what you mean oh say what you mean

Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville

You drink hard liquor you come on strong



You lose your temper someone looks at you wrong

Looks at you wrong oh looks at you wrong

Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville

Out all night playin in a band



Looking for a fight with a guitar in your hand

A guitar in your hand oh a guitar in your hand

Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville

Empty bottles and broken glass



Busted down doors and borrowed cash

Borrowed cash oh the borrowed cash

Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville

Looking for someone to save you

Looking for someone to rave about you

To rave about you oh to rave about you

Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville
