[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
