Yeah
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day

Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind

Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way

Lookin' back on the track for a little little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find

Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find

Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection speak to the search for happiness in a world that can often be lonely and confusing. The singer of the song is looking back on their life's track and searching for a little green bag, which seems to symbolize the kind of happiness they are looking for. However, they acknowledge that they may be losing their mind and feeling lonely in the process of this search.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of determination to do things their own way and not be swayed by others. This is emphasized by the repeating lines of "looking back on the track gonna do it my way" and "turn to the left turn to the right, looking upstairs looking behind." The singer seems to be searching for something that they feel is missing in their life, but they are determined to find it on their own terms.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of longing for happiness and meaning in life, but also a determination to find it despite the difficulties along the way. The little green bag may be a metaphor for something specific that could bring them happiness, or it could simply be a symbol for the idea of happiness itself.
