No Harm in Looking Back

No Harm in Looking Back

Well I got in my car

and pulled out of my drive

Put on some tunes and I was feeling alive

Singing along to a rock ’n’ roll song

In the afternoon

 

I was thinking of days

From when I was young

When I knew it all and I was highly strung 

Findin’ my way, but being passé

Like an old cartoon

Chorus

There’s no harm in looking back

Smiling and crying and keeping track

Recalling friends that have come and gone

Thinking of where I went wrong (wrong)

Remembering when I moved on (on)

Grinning and humming along

 

I sat in class waiting for the bell

On hot summer days, bored as hell

But those last two years,

laughing with my peers

Were a golden time

 

Once finished school, I was on my own

Feeling grown up and feeling alone

Showing some zeal, but keeping it real

Was my mountain to climb

 

Chorus

There’s no harm in looking back

Smiling and crying and keeping track

Recalling friends that have come and gone

Thinking of where I went wrong (wrong)

Remembering when I moved on (on)

Grinning and humming along

 

There were times when I won

and times when I lost

People that I loved and people that I crossed

Breaking my heart and not feeling smart

That’s just the way it goes

 

I don’t regret much at my point of need

Don’t stay down long, even if I bleed 

Keep my chin up high, as the years pass by

Like a wind that blows
