lyrics

Let me tell you a little something
I’ve learned through my days
Long, hard years on God’s earth
No matter what you’ve done
No matter who you hurt
Never look in that ol’ rear-view

I’ve drunk, I’ve fought, I’ve been knocked down
I’ve punched out a tooth or two
I’ve whored, and I’ve spewed,
I’ve been crude and lewd
But I never looked in that ol’ rear view


That old rear view, looking back at you
Showing all the sins that you’ve left behind
That old rear-view, shows the terrible truth
Of the life that you leave behind

I’ve prayed and backslid
Committed crimes and hid
The terrible deeds of my days
And now that I’m old
I can’t be so bold
I just stare in that old rear-view

That old rear view, looking back at you
Showing all the sins that you’ve left behind
That old rear-view, shows the terrible truth
Of the life that you leave behind
