The farther down this lonesome road I go

The more I miss someone I used to know

The more I think of her the more she shines

My past is looking brighter all the time



Today is somewhere I don't want to be

There's no future in tomorrow I can see

And what a shame that hindsight won't go blind

My past is looking brighter all the time



I walked down this one way road not knowing where it led

Where are those greener pastures I thought I saw ahead

All I'll ever need I left behind

My past is looking brighter all the time

[ piano - guitar ]

The more I think of her the more she shines

My past is looking brighter all the time

[ steel ]

Ny past is looking brighter all the time
