"Looking Forward To The Past"
by Tommy Emmanuel
(feat. Rodney Crowell)
[INTRO]
G ~ G7 ~
[VERSE]
G
There's a girl I used to know
G
About three broken hearts ago.
G
I married her and left her
G
in the dark.
G
Vicksburg her it now,
G
And I'm headed there somehow
G
Or to see if I can kindle,
G
that old spark.
[CHORUS 1]
Dm7 C G
She had that Louisiana sizzle.
Dm7 C G
She had that sleepy southern sass.
Dm7 C
(When) I split the blanket
G
down the middle.
Em D
Since then it's all been
C
downhill fast.
Em D G
I'm looking forward to the past.
[VERSE]
G
I'm a Mississippi man
G
And a Conway Twitty fan.
G
And I haven't heard a song
G
I like in years.
G
I drive a pulp-wood truck
G
(And) I'm makin' on His book,
G
And I'd be ready when my Saviour
G
reappears.
[CHORUS 2]
Dm7 C
If you want to think I'm dumb
G
and lazy,
Dm7 C G
Touch me entirely without class.
Dm7 C G
But if you knew how Mama raised me,
Em D C
You know it's you comes all crashed.
Em D G
I'm looking forward to the past.
[VERSE]
G
He who lives and learns,
G
Can't renegotiate the terms
G
On the frickin' frackin' future
G
Full of carbon copy crap.
G
The stakes are through the roof
G
But there's very little crew.
G
We can find fresh food and water
G
somewhere out there
G
off the map, yeah
[GUITAR SOLO]
G ~ G ~ G ~ G
Dm7 C G
Dm7 C G
Dm7 C G
Em D C
Em D G
[VERSE]
G
Well I cut my teeth on hurt,
G
And I slung my shared dirt,
G
And I blame my self for everything
G
goin' wrong.
G
'What's done is done', They say.
G
If there's hell, we have to pay.
G
I might admit,
G
I must have known it all along.
[CHORUS 3]
Dm7 C
I don't know two nickels
G
from a quarter.
Dm7 C
I don't know my shirt down
G
from my ass.
Dm7 C
This modern world's so
G
out of order.
Em D
I don't know just how long
C
it can last.
Em D G
I'm looking forward to the past,
Em D G
I'm looking forward to the past.
