lyrics

Sandy was a small town beauty from the west
Mama knew well but Sandy knew best
Packed her bags and started up the car
Headed to New York but didn't get far

Once you leave home you never come back Sandy
Once you leave home you'll never come back
STEP

Sandy met a boy, had herself a baby
Sandy said marriage the boy said maybe
Packed his bags the very next evening
Sandy was lovin but Bobby was leaving
Once you leave homw you never come back Bobby
Once you leave home don't ever come back
STEP

Bobby was card shark thought he was the best
Figured he would try his hand out west
Stakes got high the game went fast
Johnny shot first and Bobby didn't last
Once you leave home you never come back Bobby
Once you left home you never came back
STEP
Johnny had a choice Johnny held the gun
Never faced a judge decided he would run
Packed his bags the very next night
Johnny joined the army they put him in the fight
Oh no...
Once you leave home you never come back
Johnny
Once you left home you never came back
STEP

Sonny was a boy age of 19
His daddy's name was Bobby A man he'd never seen
Got the itch and started asking questions
Chased a dead man he chose the wrong directions
Once you leave home you never come back
Sandy,
Once he leaves home he'll never come back
STEP
