No Looking Back Lyrics

No looking back for me, no looking back

No looking back my love, no looking back

No wondering round No lying down

No looking back for me, no looking back

Once I mounted up at break of dawn

Twas two men startled me, I drew my gun

Fired fore I'd thought, widowed their wives

Impulsive foolishness ended their lives

Now the guilt and gall comes home to roost

And the mocking wild demons I loosed

Drink and song just to silence them, what can I say

Law and lore haunted me both night and day

No looking back for me, no looking back

No looking back for me, no looking back

Rueing regret, I can't forget

No looking back for me, no looking back

Then came to me a Man, a barrister

Said he would take my case, if I'd ensure

That he would own my soul from here on out

But I must give my oath and leave no doubt

That proposition weighed dark on my mind:

My absolution gained, if I would bind

My fortunes to this Man the fates had sent

Til to the courthouse we both boldly went

No looking back for me, no looking back

No looking back my God, no looking back

Now til I'm dead, I've pledged my head

No looking back for me, no looking back

Well I made that deal and I attest

That trade of guilt for grace has been my best

And now the past is shut, the future clean

I've, as the preachers say, tasted and seen

No looking back for me, no looking back

No looking back my love, no looking back

Never doubt again, all my life is bound in Him

No looking back for me, no looking back

No looking back no looking back no looking back
