If You Live Like That Lyrics - Indigo Girls

You say you want to live for today 

Before today is lost 

But when the returns come in 

Do they balance the cost? 

I can see your four wheels spin 

I can smell smoke from the blaze 

But we aren't moving anyway 

If you're seeing past rose colored shades. 

Chorus: 

If you live like that 

Don't look back 

'Cause it's cold 

And it's mighty 

It may turn your back 

Blood on the tracks, baby 

Blood on the tracks 

Blood on the tracks, baby 

I said, don't look back. 

I see it all around 

People want it good and want it fast 

As long as it moves you for the moment 

It doesn't matter if it lasts 

But our love is sweet 

It can drive me to my knees 

But we still got troubles, you and I 

Seeing the forest for the trees. 

Chorus. 

I've had enough of these two lives 

You say you'll give to me 

I've had enough of your freedom 

You know I want to feel free 

I've had enough gospel 

I could spin my head around 

I said, if you're so caught up in heaven 

You don't even see the ground. 

Chorus. 

All we need is to take time (slow down, new way) 

See tomorrow in plain sight (new dawn, new day) 

New horizon in plain view 

And we're hauling up the engine 

To put you straight on through. 

Chorus. 

Blood on the tracks, baby 

Blood on the tracks 

Blood on the tracks, baby 

I said, don't look back 

Blood on the tracks, baby 

Blood on the tracks 

Blood on the tracks, baby 

I said, don't look back 

Don't look back 

If you live like that
