DON'T LOOK BACK^©

Live 11 Mar 1977 version

One, two, three, four!

Cold rain running down the front of my shirt
I'm flat on my back, wheels in the dirt
Angel makes her face up on Baker Street
Straddling the shifter in my front seat
There's nothing we can do, it's a setup, the deck is stacked
Put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back

Night train rising through the blazing rain
Blowing pistons, working the fast lane
Dry racing at the dynamo
Pushing that old car as she would go
Nothing we can do, whoa whoa the deck is stacked
Put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back

Someday I wanna hold you
Someday I wanna hold you
Someday it's ???, someday it's all right
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa

Angel writes her name on my dash
???, pocket's full of cash
???
???
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah we won't look back
Put your foot to the floor and darling
Put your foot to the floor and darling
Put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Yeah!
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
