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

Written by：Rodney Crowell[00:00:01]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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