Looking Forward Looking Back - Slim Dusty

Looking forward, looking back

I’ve come a long way down the track

Got a long way left to go

Making songs, from what I know

Making sense of what I’ve seen

All the love we’ve had between

You and I, along the track

Looking forward, looking back

There are strange days

Full of change on the way

But we’ll be fine, unlike some

I’ll be leaning forward, to see what’s coming

Looking forward, looking back

I’ve come a long way down the track

Got a long way left to go

Making songs, from what I know

Instrumental

If I’m alone at night, I can see

Through all the triviality

Of the day and I’m okay

I just think of those who are dear to me

Looking forward, looking back

I’ve come a long way down the track

Got a long way left to go

Making songs, from what I know

Making songs, from what I know

Looking forward, looking back
