Backs Turned Looking Down the Path
 

Written & Sung: W. Zevon; Guitar: L. Buckingham

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 walking hand in hand Laughing 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 But I'm thankful for what I've 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

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Not much to this song - it's a little repetitive, and sing-songy, but not bad. A very subdued song - probably ideal for an adaptation into elevator music (no offense!)
