KASSI ASHTON RELEASES NEW TRACK “I DON’T GO BACK” TODAY

 

Videos for “I Don’t Go Back” and “Dates In Pickup Trucks” Performed Live at VEVO Studio Out Now

MCA Nashville and Interscope Records artist Kassi Ashton releases new song “I Don’t Go Back,” today. Written by Ashton with Luke Laird and Hillary Lindsey, “I Don’t Go Back” is a slow, introspective track shows off Kassi’s soulful voice as the lyrics allow her to reminisce over good parts of that past while being exactly where she wants to be in the present, “I’m a moving on, straight ahead. Eyes on the road always does me best.  I’m out with the old, in with the new.  Yeah, I don’t go back but if I did, it’d be to you,” and “I don’t miss who I was, I’m exactly where I wanna be now.  These ain’t tears, this ain’t no flood.  It’s just a song that I can’t turn down.”

“My favorite part of songwriting is giving someone a real piece of myself from a certain time in my life,” shares Kassi. “It’s more than sharing a picture and it’s more than sharing a story; it’s sharing a feeling. When I wrote this song in 2017 with Luke and Hillary, we all put a piece of ourselves in it. I hope you listen and feel and find a piece of yourself too.”

“I Don’t Go Back” Lyrics:

I don’t cry

But if I did, there’d be an Eric Church song playing

In my car

Driving past the blue school doors that are faded

 

I’m not sad

But if I was, there’d be a ’97 F-250

Driving away

In my head while I’m in Nashville feeling guilty

 

I’m a moving on, straight ahead

Eyes on the road always does me best

I’m out with the old, in with the new

Yeah, I don’t go back but if I did, it’d be to you, you, you

 

I don’t go reminiscing

But when I do, it’s usually when I’ve been drinking

Like tonight

Start thinking about you playing pool in your mama’s basement

 

I don’t wanna be 17 again

I don’t go chasing around could-have-been’s

And I don’t regret

That ain’t me but if I did I know where I’d be ‘cause

 

I’m a moving on, straight ahead

Eyes on the road always does me best

I’m out with the old, in with the new

Yeah, I don’t go back but if I did, it’d be to you, you, you

 

I don’t miss who I was, I’m exactly where I wanna be now

These ain’t tears, this ain’t no flood

It’s just a song that I can’t turn down’

 

I don’t cry

But if I did there’d be an Eric Church song playing, playing

 

I’m a moving on, straight ahead

Eyes on the road always does me best

I’m out with the old, in with the new

Yeah, I don’t go back but if I did, it’d be to you, you, you

It’d be to you, you, you
