Looking Back Over My Shoulder - Yonder Mountain String Band

Looking back over my shoulder wondering how I made it here

For all the smoking and the beer I couldn’t tell ya,

Looking back over my shoulder wasn’t all that long ago

There was nothing in this world I didn’t know

then a bitter wind it came blowing in

And my fear was more than any man could hide

Lord that bitter wind, don’t it chill you to the bone

when you’re runnin' all alone in the night

Looking back over my shoulder how many miles has it been

Will I still hear the barking dogs and the shouts of men

Looking back over my shoulder I see things I should have done

And I’ve got a funny feeling that I’ve seen my final sunrise

A bitter wind it came blowing in

Lord and all I wanted was to shout out loud

But a bitter wind carries any mournful sound

Then the one i’m sure to make if they find me

Looking back over my shoulder got some miles on me now

Not much more that I could do to keep my deal from going down

I’m tired in my bones and I’ve starting to wonder

Can we really call it livin' when your livin' on the run

That bitter wind it came blowin' in

And my fear was more than any man could hide

Lord that bitter wind don’t it chill you to the bone

When your running all alone in the night
