I was caught between the years   Cost me nearly 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 ba-a-by   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 ba-a-by   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
