[Verse 1]
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 get my outlook fixed
With my back turned, looking down the path

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
We'll go walkin' hand in hand
Laughin' fit to beat the band
With our backs turned, looking down the path

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
