Johnny's in a wasteland
You know he's cooking up a spoon
He says this town's been bringing him down
So he used to let loose
Now he's creepin' in the shadows
He's itching for a fix
He grabbed a nine 'cause he needs to get high
Now he's sitting doing 20 to life
And he's gone, he's gone, he's gone
(I lost my soul so many times)

I lost my soul so many times
Gave in even when I knew better
I woke up on the other side
And I ain't ever going back, never going back to that trap
(I ain't fallin' for that trap)

Jenny's got a big plan
She's gonna set the world on fire
Ivy League and the finer things in her sights in her mind
A couple compliments and whisky
Lead to the backseet of his car
Silver tongue says he's falling in love
Nine months now she's all alone
All alone, all alone, alone
(I lost my soul so many times)

I lost my soul so many times
Gave in even when I knew better
I woke up on the other side
And I ain't ever going back, never going back to that trap
(I ain't fallin' for that trap)

And no, I'm never going back
Never going back to that trap
I ain't goin' back, no I ain't goin' back, no I ain't goin' back
I ain't goin' back, I ain't goin' back, I ain't goin' back

This life will eat you up inside
I know you think you're in too deep
But it's time to get up off your knees

I lost my soul so many times
Gave in even when I knew better
I woke up on the other side
And I ain't ever going back, never going back to that
I lost my soul so many times
Gave in even when I knew better
I woke up on the other side
And I ain't ever going back, never going back to that
I lost my soul so many times
Gave in even when I knew better
I woke up on the other side
And I ain't ever going back, never going back to that trap
(I ain't fallin' for that trap)
(I ain't fallin' for that trap)
And no, I'm never going back
Never going back to that trap
