Backs Turned Looking Down The Path Lyrics - Zevon Warren

written by Warren Zevon , c. Zevon Music BMI (1976) 

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
