Biography:
Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

Josh Joplin Group - Who's Afraid of Thomas Wolfe
[Intro]
C G
I changed my name
C G
I had it made
C G
I sold my soul
F G C
And I never got paid
[Verse 1]
When it's one long line after another
C
And you can't get a green card
And all you want is to lie with your lover
C Bb
But distance makes it too hard
[Pre-Chorus]
C Bb
What you don't know is
What you don't know is
[Chorus]
C
You can never go back, never go back
You can never go home again
C
You can never go back, never go back, never go
You can never go home again
[Verse 2]
When it's one headache after another
C
And you can't get a green light
And all you want is to lie with your lover
C Bb
And make everything alright, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
C Bb
What you don't know is
What you don't know is
[Chorus]
C
You can never go back, never go back
You can never go home again
C
You can never go back, never go back, never go
You can never go home again
[Bridge]
And I'm going home despite
That Thomas Wolfe was right
And I'm going home despite
That Thomas Wolfe was right
And I'm going home despite
That Thomas Wolfe was right
And I'm going home despite
Bb C Bb
That Thomas Wolfe was right
[Outro]
C G
I dreamed I jumped
C G
I spoke to god
C G
I overslept
F G
And I got fired from my job
[Outro}
