[Verse 1]

You loaded up your suitcase and your sleeping bag

Took down all the pictures and your faded flag

The thunderstorm was ragin' and you were soakin' wet

And you headed down the road with no regrets

[Verse 2]

The people in the village, yeah, they treated you with scorn

Your reputation shattered in the place where you were born

They blamed you for the killin', you never were a threat

And you headed down the road with no regrets

[Chorus]

No regrets and no more shame

Yeah, you were never guilty

They needed someone to blame

You always can forgive

But, you never will forget, yeah

No retribution and no regrets

Oh-oh

[Bridge]

You were in the wrong place at the wrong time

Hatred is a curse and prejudice is blind

People love to point their fingers at anyone not like them

In this world divided, it's either sink or swim

[Chorus]

No regrets and no more shame

You were never guilty

They needed someone that they could blame

You always can forgive

But, you never will forget

No retribution and no regrets

[Outro]

No regrets

Yeah, no regrets
