I don’t want no photographs, no leatherworks or rings

When I leave and head back home I’m leavin’ everything

Please don’t send me letters, don’t tell me ‘bout the times

Reading Desert Solitaire, laughter by the fire.

I don’t want reminders of the places where I’ve been

I just want to come back and do it all again, I just want to come back and do it all again

When I get home I’ll cut my hair, wash red dust off my shoes

I’ll put away my backpack and I’ll bury all the clues

When they ask me where I’ve been, how my summer’s gone

I’ll say I don’t remember and I’ll say I’m movin’ on

‘Cause I don’t want reminders of the places where I’ve been

I just want to come back and do it all again, I just want to come back and do it all again

Sun, it comes up every morning, shines every day just the same

But time wears down all our memories, like footprints washed out in the rain

I don’t want to hear about adventures on the trail

How the clouds swept ‘cross the sky just before the hail

Don’t tell me ‘bout the hummingbirds, scent of pinon pine

Most of all don’t tell me ‘bout the friends I left behind

I don’t want reminders of the faces that I’ve seen

I just want to come back and be with them again

I just want to come back and be with you again
