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
