I was caught between the years
 Nearly cost me 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 baby
 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 baby
 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
