Lookin Back Songtext
von Bob Seger

You hit the street, you feel them staring
You know they hate you you can feel their eyes a glarin′
Because you're different, because you′re free
Because you're everything deep down they wish they could be

You're lookin′ back (lookin′ back), they're lookin′ back (lookin' back)
Too many people lookin′ back
You're lookin′ back (lookin' back) they're lookin′ back (lookin′ back)
Too many people lookin' back

They watch the news, see young men dying
They watch them bleedin′ and listen to them lying
And if they're normal, if they can see
They just reach out and change the channel on the TV


You′re lookin' back (lookin′ back) they're lookin' back (lookin′ back)
Too many people lookin′ back
You're lookin′ back (lookin' back), they′re lookin' back (lookin′ back)
Too many people lookin' back

When they could vote, and end the war
They're much too busy fittin′ locks upon the back door
Give you a foxhole, a place to hide
′Cause when the war come the cops'll be on their side

You′re lookin' back (lookin back), they′re lookin' back (lookin′ back)
Too many people lookin' back
You're lookin′ back (lookin′ back), they're lookin′ back (lookin' back)
Too many people lookin′ back
Back, back, back, back

You're lookin′ back (lookin' back), they're lookin′ back (lookin′ back)
Too many people lookin' back
You′re lookin' back (lookin′ back), they're lookin′ back (lookin' back)
Too many people
Too many people
Too many people lookin' back
