"Flies on the Butter (You Can't Go Home Again)" is a song written by Chuck Cannon, Austin Cunningham, and Allen Shamblin. Originally recorded by Lari White in 1998, it was recorded by Wynonna Judd and released on March 3, 2004 as the third single from her sixth solo studio album What the World Needs Now Is Love.

The song is a reminiscence of the narrator's childhood. Wynonna Judd said that the lyrics reminded her of her grandparents' house in rural Kentucky. The song features her mother, Naomi, on backing vocals. The two had previously recorded together in the 1980s as the Judds prior to Wynonna beginning her solo career in the 1990s.[1] It was originally recorded by Lari White on her 1998 album Stepping Stone.[2]
