No More Looking Over My Shoulder — текст песни (Travis Tritt)

Written by Michael Peterson & Craig Wiseman

As a child I was told that I was destined to be nothing
Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said
Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing
But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread
Yeah

Seems like every choice I made would somehow leave me second-guessing
`Bout the green grass I was passing racing toward the other side
I thank God for the blessing
That I finally learned this lesson:
One Step in the right direction`s worth a wasted mile behind

Chorus:
Singin`
No more lookin` over my shoulder
No more hangin` on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday`s sorrows
No more lookin` over my shoulder

I could chill a room with reasons why I would not give forgiveness
To the people who had selfishly left me a wounded soul
I kept dragging `round those memories
Like a ball and chain behind me
Wonderin` why my troubles followed me wherever I would go
Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired
I realized forgiveness was the only open road
I swear I heard those shackles snap
The moment that I took that path
I never have one time looked back since the morning I arose

Chorus

I`m singin`
No more lookin` over my shoulder
No more hangin` on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday`s sorrows
No more, no more, no...

No more lookin` over my shoulder
No more hangin` on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday`s sorrows
No more lookin` over my shoulder
