Backs Turned Looking Down the Path

I was caught between the years

Nearly cost me all my tears

With my back turned, looking down the path

Hit me like a ton of bricks

Had to have my outlook fixedWith my back turned, looking down the pathPeople always ask me why

What's the matter with me?

Nothing matters when I'm with my babyWith my back turned, looking down the pathWe'll go walkin' hand in hand

Laughin' fit to beat the band

With our backs turned, looking down the pathPeople always ask me why

What's the matter with me?

Nothing matters when I'm with my babyWith my back turned, looking down the pathSome may have, and some may not

God, I'm thankful for what I gotWith my back turned, looking down the pathWith my back turned, looking down the pathWith my back turned, looking down the path
