The Day You Stop Lookin' Back

(album: Tangled Up - 2015)

Stop staring at the rear view
You ain't checking your hair
That wheel has spun and them lights are out
There ain't nothing for you back there
Stop holding on so dang tight, 'bout time you let go
Well he's a heart breaking, let you down son of a gun
But I ain't saying nothing you don't know
Well

The day that you stop looking back
You're gonna find that the future
Sure beats the hell outta the past
Now he ain't no good
I guess he's good as gone
The day you stop looking back, girl yeah
Is the day you start moving on, yeah, yeah, yeah

That sun's gonna come up
It's gonna feel good
And after all the rain and pain you've seen
I hope you soak it up like you should
Now and then it's gonna stir up
But when you hear that old song
But don't let it get to ya baby
It's only three and a half minutes long
Well

The day that you stop looking back
You're gonna find that the future
Sure beats the hell outta the past
Now he ain't no good
I guess he's good as gone
The day you stop looking back, girl yeah
Is the day you start moving on, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh

Well now hey girl why you looking back like that
Don't you wanna trade tears for laughs and love
That could be us tonight

The day that you stop looking back
You're gonna find that the future
Sure beats the hell outta the past
Now he ain't no good
I guess he's good as gone
The day you stop looking back, girl yeah
Is the day you start moving on, yeah, yeah, yeah
Is the day you start moving on

Stop staring at the rear view
You ain't checking your hair
That wheel is spun and them lights are out
There ain't nothing for you back there
