Lookin' Back is Lookin' Better Lyrics

Now I ain't never been one to fret

Never saw the point of moanin' about regrets

But as time flies by I'd rather read than write love letters

Fact is looking back is looking better and better

I've buried a wife and divorced a few

Had kids that turned out alright, and some in need of a pew

I've had a good life, even if it wasn't all above board

No, don't ask, that's between me and the Lord

I've had more adventures than most that I've known

I've driven the ice roads of the Yukon

I've fought over oil on the desert sands

Where I lost friends and two fingers on the left hand

But all those adventures are catching up with me

It hurts to get out of bedand then it hurts to pee

I can still play catch and cast a line

It's just a little harder on this body of mine

I hope to see the pearly gates

It's the getting there that aches

Please don't misunderstand

I love life and accept its demands

It's just that while I ain't never been one to fret

Never saw the point of moanin' about regrets

But as time flies by I'd rather read than write love letters

Fact is looking back is looking better and better

I've had more adventures than most that I've known

I've driven the ice roads of the Yukon

I've fought over oil on the desert sands

Where I lost friends and two fingers on the left hand

But all those adventures are catching up with me

It hurts to get out of bed, and then it hurts to pee

I can still play catch and cast a line

It's just a little harder on this body of mine

I hope to see the pearly gates

It's the getting there that aches

Please don't misunderstand

I love life and accept its demands

It's just that while I ain't never been one to fret

Never saw the point of moaning about regrets

But as time flies by I'd rather read than write love letters

Fact is looking back is looking better and better
