Don't Look Back

I met him in the park one Sunday morning
And he was sippin from a small brown paper sack
He said, “it ain’t no need in guessin, - son in life the greatest lesson
That you’re ever gonna learn - is don’t look back.”
DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK
YOU GOTTA LIVE WITH YOUR DECISION
DON’T YOU KNOW - HINDSIGHT ALWAYS GIVES YOU 20-20 VISION
THERE AIN’T NOTHIN YOU CAN DO ABOUT - WHAT’S HAPPENED IN THE PAST
SO DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK
He grinned a toothless grin and kept on talkin
“I can see you got some troubles on your mind.
And though I’m kind of busy - if you let me taste that whiskey
I'll give you words of wisdom and some time.”
It’s a waste of time just frettin bout tomorrow
Cause it ain’t no guarantee it won’t go wrong
And when it comes to pretty women - it’s a lot like this here whiskey
You just enjoy what’s here today - and then move on

AND DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK
YOU GOTTA LIVE WITH YOUR DECISION
DON’T YOU KNOW - HINDSIGHT ALWAYS GIVES YOU 20-20 VISION
THERE AIN’T NOTHIN YOU CAN DO ABOUT - WHAT’S HAPPENED IN THE PAST
DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK
We shared an old park bench and then the bottle
And I said, “Mister - you just made yourself a deal.”
And before he finished drinkin - I reviewed my way of thinking
And now there ain’t no doubt about the way I feel
He pulled an old gold watch out from his pocket
It’s broke but that don’t matter anyhow
Time don’t mean a hill of beans to me much anymore
The only thing you got - is here and now

DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK
YOU GOTTA LIVE WITH YOUR DECISION
DON’T YOU KNOW - HINDSIGHT ALWAYS GIVES YOU 20-20 VISION
THERE AIN’T NOTHIN YOU CAN DO ABOUT - WHAT’S HAPPENED IN THE PAST
DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK
LEAVE THE DOOR TO OPPORTUNITY OPEN JUST A CRACK
DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK - DON’T LOOK BACK
