Don'T Look Back

I had some plans, I had some dreams, Not meant to be, or so it seems, I’d make some cash, tuck it away, But it did not work out that way, I’d find a girl; we’d fall in love, Wound up alone; push came to shove, I’d have a friend; a place to lean, People are cold, the streets are mean, I’d find a place to call my own, there is no place, I feel at home, I had a smile, it did not last, My happy days are in the past, Got me a rope, tied to the trees, Watch my old life, twist in the breeze, I strike a match, burn it all down, Find a new dream, in a new town, There’s nothing here I need to pack, Just start to walk and don’t look back

Thanks Betty. Oddly enough I see this one as hopeful as it deals with not quitting but making a new start.
