Stop Lookin' Back

(альбом: We're An American Band - 1973)

Stuck in the county jail,
Nobody here gonna' pay my bail.
Thirty days with a smelly drunk,
A turn-key calling me a dirty punk.
I got to pick myself up, and stop looking back.
And I've got to move straight ahead, stop looking back.

[CHORUS]
Shoot for the stars when my eyes can't see the starlight.
Reach for the sun in the night.
Stop looking back at the times I was defeated,
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop looking back.

Stranded! Nothing worse.
I'm living on coffee, I got an empty purse.
I'm dreaming 'bout blue eyes looking my way,
Hoping my dreams don't blow away.
I got to pick myself up, and stop looking back.
And I've got to move straight ahead, stop looking back.

[CHORUS]
