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 get 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
