Lyrics Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon

Backs Turned Looking Down the Path

I was caught between the years

Cost me nearly all my tears

With my back turned looking down the path

Hit me like a ton of bricks

Had to have my outlook fixed

With my back turned looking down the path

People always ask me why

What's the matter with me?

Nothing matters when I'm with my ba-a-by

With my back turned looking down the path

We'll go walkin' hand in hand

Laughin' fit to beat the band

With our backs turned looking down the path

People always ask me why

What's the matter with me?

Nothing matters when I'm with my ba-a-by

With my back turned looking down the path

Some may have and some may not

God, I'm thankful for what I got

With my back turned, looking down the path

With my back turned, looking down the path

With my back turned, looking down the path
