Don't look back
Boo Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moon lights up the bayou like a dance floor at a disco
Rouge clown crew of pirates jolly rogers flyin'
We sailed on to the midnight black horizon
How about we just keep goin
How 'bout we dont look back
We could call the highway home
How 'bout we don't look back
Louisiana Sunrise racing for the state line
St Francis hangin' from the rearview new song on mi mind
We made our way to Texas over by San Antone
We stopped of at Luckenbach sang When The Saint Come Home
How about we just keep goin
How 'bout we dont look back
We could call the highway home
How 'bout this ol cadillac
How 'bout we don't look back

The reference to St. Francis hanging from the rearview mirror adds a spiritual element to the lyrics, as does the mention of stopping at Luckenbach and singing "When The Saints Come Home". The chorus repeats the call to keep going and not look back, with the suggestion that the highway could become a home and that the old Cadillac could be a metaphor for the road itself.
