Walking backwards down the road Looking all around Never thought I'd wind up Walking backwards down the road Leading out of town Oh, I've just got to go and I left a note behind me In your mailbox When you wake up I'll be gone I hope that you'll be happy With your new love I'm just happy hanging on Everywhere I look There are memories of you And I can't take it That's why I'm walking backwards down the road Looking all around Never thought I'd wind up Walking backwards down the road Leading out of town Oh, I've just got to go and How can I stay and watch you Walk together When I pass you on the street? How can I go to parties or a movie? I just panic when we meet Somewhere there's a place I can get over you And I must find it That's why I'm walking backwards down the road Leading out of town Never thought I'd wind up Walking backwards down the road Feeling so low down Feeling so low down Walking out of town Walking backwards Walking backwards
