One Look Back - Jane Gillman
Sitting here watching the time crawl on
Haze in the air, the wind's long gone
Mud in the river, snakes in the pond
It's one or the other before too long
It's too hot to go downtown
I wish my baby would come around
One more day down this track
One step forward and one look back
Kicking up the dust and gravel
This old road wasn't made for travel
This old hill wasn't made to climb
With weary bones and a worried mind
It's too hot to go downtown...
When this old life is over
Lay me down in a field of clover
Let that old honey bee
Make sweet honey out of me
It's too hot to go downtown...
