Will Paynter - Don't Look Back Lyrics

The world is changing an old man told me
I'm just trying to do my very best
I drive a pick-up truck the old man sold me
I think I'm gonna take a little trip out west
I headed out to Southern California
Get some sand in my shoes
I couldn't take all that earthquake paranoia
I'm gonna go back to Texas and sing my blues

I had a little girl down in Leon Springs
She loved me good and she loved me strong
She always thinking about those wedding rings
She said she'd wait but not too long
I know all good things must come to an end
We decided I should be moving on
She said she still wanted to be my good friend
I hit the road the next day at dawn

Oh it's been a long time since I've been home
The open road is where I roam
Where I go nobody knows but me
When I get tired of this running around
I'm gonna go back to the hill country and settle down
Then you know where to go if you wanna find me

Rice and beans with the rising sun
On my way to a brand new town
Gonna drive all day til the driving is done
Gonna make San Marcos with a brand new sound
So what is the moral of the story
What are the lessons to be learned
Out on the road its all guts and no glory
Sometimes we all end up getting burned

Oh it's been a long time since I've been home
The open road is where I roam
Where I go nobody knows but me yea
When I get tired of this running around
I'm gonna go back to the hill country and settle down
Then you know where to go if you wanna find me
