《Looking Forward to the Past》歌词

[00:00:00] Looking Forward to the Past - Tommy Emmanuel (汤米·伊曼纽尔)/Rodney Crowell

[00:00:01] Written by：Rodney Crowell

[00:00:09] There's a girl I use to know about three broken hearts ago

[00:00:14] I married her and left her in the dark

[00:00:19] Vicksburg has her now and I'm headed there somehow

[00:00:23] For to see if I can kindle that old spark

[00:00:28] She had that Louisiana sizzle

[00:00:33] She had that sleepy southern sass

[00:00:38] I split the blanket down the middle

[00:00:42] Since then it's all been downhill fast

[00:00:47] I'm looking forward to the past

[00:00:51] I'm a Mississippi man and a Conway Twitty

[00:00:56] And I haven't heard a song I like in years

[00:01:00] I drive a po boy truck

[00:01:02] And I make an honest buck

[00:01:05] And I'll be ready when my savor reappears

[00:01:10] If you want to think I'm dumb and lazy

[00:01:15] Judge me entirely without class

[00:01:20] But if you knew how momma raised me

[00:01:24] You'd know it's you that comes off crass

[00:01:29] I'm looking forward to the past

[00:01:33] He who lives and learns can renegotiate the terms

[00:01:37] On a freakin frackin future full of carbon copy crap

[00:01:43] The stakes are through the roof but there's very little proof

[00:01:47] We can find fresh food and water somewhere out there off the map

[00:02:36] Well I cut my teeth on hurt

[00:02:38] And I've slung my share of dirt

[00:02:40] And I blame myself for everything gone wrong

[00:02:45] But what's done is done they say

[00:02:47] And if there's hell we have to pay

[00:02:49] I might admit I must have known it all along

[00:02:55] I don't know two nickels from a quarter

[00:03:00] I don't know my shirt tail from my eyes

[00:03:04] This modern worlds so out of order

[00:03:09] I don't know just how long it can last

[00:03:14] But I'm looking forward to the past

[00:03:18] I'm looking forward to the past
