(Warren Zevon)

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 fixed

With my back turned, looking down the path



People always ask me why

What's the matter with me?

Nothing matters when I'm with my baby

With my back turned, looking down the path



We'll go walkin' hand in hand

Laughin' fit to beat the band

With our backs turned, looking down the path



People always ask me why

What's the matter with me?

Nothing matters when I'm with my baby

With my back turned, looking down the path



Some may have, and some may not

God, I'm thankful for what I got

With my back turned, looking down the path

With my back turned, looking down the path

With my back turned, looking down the path
