Never Look Back
Marty Robbins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never look back, you're decision you've made
Never look back, close your eyes, walk away
Never look back, hold your head way up high
Never look back you never could hide the tears in your eyes
Heaven has ended all your sweet dreams are gone
You must forget him though the hurt may live on
Start life all over though the future looks black
You've known so long, to love him was wrong so never look back
Heaven has ended all your sweet dreams are gone
You must forget him though the hurt may live on




Start life all over though the future looks black
You've known so long, to love him was wrong so never look back

I wish today's music was like this , I feel sorry for the young, their music is rotten and they won't want to listen to it when they are old, I'm glad I'm old and can look back on great singers and great songs.thank God.

Go listen to some Lindi Ortega or Andrew Combs. There are talented musicians out there, they just don't get played on the radio.
