Don't Look Back Songtext
von Gooding

I′m mean Johnny Green she's little Millie Stahl
Mean since babies before we could crawl
Blood on the floor, blood on the wall
In a broken world it′s a' winner take all

Judged by 12 and carried by 6
She pulled the trigger, and I dug the ditch
I crossed the state line, there was a hitch
Somebody's conscience started to itch

Breakers roar on a one-way track
You don′t look back, don′t look back
Grist for the mill and coal for the stack
Don't look back, don′t look back

The days so grey and the nights so black
You don't look back, don′t look back
The only way forward is you don't look back
The only way forward is you don′t look back


Click lock behind me moon through the bars
Can't see the sunlight, can't see the stars
When every little dream gets hung up high
Two hands together get a laugh from the sky

The least among us always take the fall
But they never shoulda crossed us never at all
The weeds too low, the fence too high
The warden gotta suffer and the jailor gonna die

Breakers roar on a one-way track
You don′t look back, don′t look back
Grist for the mill and coal for the stack
Don't look back, don′t look back

The days so grey and the nights so black
You don't look back, don′t look back
The only way forward is you don't look back
The only way forward is you don′t look back

It's a good, good hanging and it's a clean fast break
I paid em′ to protect me but they all on the take
You think you know the game, then they raise up the stakes
We′ll leave it to the devil to round up these snakes
Leave it to the devil to round up these snakes


Breakers roar on a one-way track
You don't look back, don′t look back
Grist for the mill and coal for the stack
Don't look back, don′t look back

The days so grey and the nights so black
You don't look back, don′t look back
The only way forward is you don't look back
The only way forward is you don't look back

The only way forward is you don′t look back
