I say now, don't look back in the middle of life
Look at what happened to poor Lot's wife
Around she turned, it was her own fault
And the Lord said "You be a pillar of salt"
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back, don't look back)
Look ahead instead!
It's been so long since I went and dated
The money is gone and the children away
Now, don't look back, or, by golly gee,
You blame the whole dern thing on me!
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back, don't look back)
Look way on up ahead there!
Now, life's very short, as everybody knows
We never do the things that we propose
Now, what's gone is gone, so look ahead
You'll never look back when you are dead!
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back, don't look back)
Keep on looking way on up ahead!
No two people are ever alike,
So don't blame me for seeing the light!
So, when you're gone, just remember this:
You got lots of time to reminisce!
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back)
Don't look back
(Don't look back, don't look back)
There ain't no use looking back, look ahead!
Don't look back
Don't look back
(Are you looking ahead?)
Don't look back
(Don't jump back now)
Look ahead, look ahead!
