Lyrics: Warren Zevon. Backs Turned Looking Down the Path.

I was caught between the years
Nearly cost me 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 baby

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 baby

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
