I Ain’t Comin’ Back Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m a redneck
‘Cause I drink beer and I dip Skoal
Guess I’m a rambler
‘Cause I can’t not be on the road
Might be a lost cause
‘Cause I’ll be out ’til the lights are on
And I’m a gambler
I’ll take the over on the underdog, huh
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, half of this town has got a name for me
And I can’t say I don’t agree, huh
[Chorus]
But the night I said, “I’m leavin’,” I turned into Richard Petty
Broke my heart, so I got even in my ’97 Chevy
Now I’m walkin’ on this water mixed with Johnnie Walker Black
There’s a lot of reasons I ain’t Jesus, but the main one is that I ain’t comin’ back
Oh no, no, I ain’t comin’ back
[Verse 2]
You call me thе devil
Then you told me whеre to go
Go throw your pebbles
I’ll be somewhere gettin’ stoned
Girl, it ain’t my fault
Ain’t no need to wait three days
I might be a lot of things
But I ain’t your savin’ grace
[Chorus]
Yeah, the night I said, “I’m leavin’,” I turned into Richard Petty
Broke my heart, so I got even in my ’97 Chevy
Now I’m walkin’ on this water mixed with Johnnie Walker Black
There’s a lot of reasons I ain’t Jesus, but the main one is that I ain’t comin’ back
Oh no, no, I ain’t comin’ back
[Bridge]
Girl, half of this town has got a name for me
But there’s one I’ll never be, no
[Chorus]
‘Cause the night I said, “I’m leavin’,” I turned into Richard Petty
Broke my heart and I got even in my ’97 Chevy
Now I’m walkin’ on this water, mixed with Johnnie Walker Black
There’s a lot of reasons I ain’t Jesus, but the main one is that I ain’t comin’ back
Oh no, no, I ain’t comin’ back
[Outro]
Oh
Summary of this Song Lyrics:
I Ain’t Comin’ Back Lyrics by Morgan Wallen ft. Post Malone, tells the story of a rebellious and heartbroken man embracing his wild side after a breakup. He proudly identifies as a “redneck” and a rambler, someone who lives freely, drinks, and isn’t afraid to take risks. The lyrics paint a picture of someone the town knows well for his rowdy reputation—something he doesn’t deny. He accepts being misunderstood or even judged but wears it like a badge of honor.
The core of the song revolves around a painful goodbye. After a breakup, the artist compares his sudden departure to Richard Petty, the legendary NASCAR driver—fast and final. He takes off in his old ’97 Chevy, fueled by heartbreak and alcohol, particularly Johnnie Walker Black, using these symbols to show how he’s coping and reclaiming his power. The idea of “walking on water” mixed with whiskey blends emotional pain with a sense of dark humor and defiance.
In the second verse, he mocks being labeled the devil and rejects the idea of being anyone’s savior. He’s unapologetically flawed and makes it clear that he won’t play the role of someone who saves or returns. The line “I ain’t your saving grace” reinforces that he’s done trying to meet someone else’s expectations.
The repeated chorus reinforces his resolve: he’s not coming back. The imagery of the road, the car, and alcohol underscores his escape and transformation. By the end of the song, he acknowledges how people might talk about him, but he knows exactly who he is—and who he’ll never be.
Overall, this is a gritty, emotionally raw anthem about heartbreak, defiance, and choosing freedom over reconciliation. It captures the spirit of a man who’d rather drive off into the unknown than return to something that hurt him.
