Lookin' Back Songtext
von Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band

You hit the street, you feel them staring
You know they hate you, you can feel their eyes a-glaring
Because you′re different, because you're free
Because you′re everything deep down they wish they could be

They're looking back (looking back), they're looking back (looking back)
Too many people looking back
They′re looking back (looking back), they′re looking back (looking back)
Too many people looking back

Just watch the news, see young men dying
Watch them bleeding and listen to them lying
And if they're normal, if they can see
They just reach out and change the channel on the TV


They′re looking back (looking back), they're looking back (looking back)
Too many people looking back
They′re looking back (looking back), they're looking back (looking back)
Too many people looking back

When they could vote, and end the war
They′re much too busy putting locks on the doors
Give you a foxhole, baby, a place to hide
'Cause when the war come, the cops'll be on their side

They′re looking back (looking back), they′re looking back (looking back)
Too many people looking back
They're looking back (looking back), they′re looking back (looking back)
Too many people looking back
They're looking back (looking back), they′re looking back (looking back)
Too many people looking back
They're looking back (looking back), they′re looking back (looking back)
Too many people
Too many people
Too many people looking back
