No More Looking Over My Shoulder Lyrics - Travis Tritt

(Written by: Michael Peterson & Craig Wiseman) 

As a child I was told that I was destined to be nothing 

Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said 

Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing 

But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread. 

Yeah. 

Seems like every choice I made 

Would somehow leave me second-guessing 

'Bout the green grass I was passing 

Racing toward the other side 

I thank God for the blessing 

That I finally learned this lesson: 

One Step in the right direction's 

Worth a wasted mile behind

Chorus: 

Singin' 

No more, lookin' over my shoulder 

No more, hangin' on to the past 

No more, filling up my tomorrows 

With yesterday's sorrows 

No more, lookin' over my shoulder. 

I could chill a room with reasons 

why I would not give forgiveness 

To the people who had selfishly 

L: eft me a wounded soul 

I kept dragging 'round those memories 

Like a ball and chain behind me 

Wonderin' why my troubles followed me 

Wherever I would go 

Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired 

I realized forgiveness was the only open road 

I swear I heard those shackles snap 

The moment that I took that path 

I never have one time looked back 

Since the morning I arose.

Chorus: 

Singin' 

No more, lookin' over my shoulder 

No more, hangin' on to the past 

No more, filling up my tomorrows 

With yesterday's sorrows 

No more, lookin' over my shoulder. 

--- Instrumental --- 

I'm singin' 

No more, lookin' over my shoulder 

No more, hangin' on to the past 

No more, filling up my tomorrows 

With yesterday's sorrows 

No more, no more, no.no. no. 

No more, lookin' over my shoulder 

No more, hangin' on to the past 

No more, filling up my tomorrows 

With yesterday's sorrows 

No more, lookin' over my shoulder...
