Looking Forward

I never cared about the car I drive

Or the room I sleep, or the bus I ride

Just as long as I could get somewhere and not get hurt

I could breathe out there

I know I could be free out there

I could be me

I never cared about the word prestige

About no inside track or no noblesse oblige

Just as long as I could pay my way

And pull my weight and say my say

As long as I could pay my way

I could say

I never had no plans

Just dreams and vague directions

I would make my stand in the house of corrections

Now I'm a man at last

I see that everything is changing

And if you want to hold on fast

The future needs arranging

Now I'm looking forward to you

Now I'm looking forward to you

My former view was backward

My backward view was blue

Now I'm looking forward to you

Love had a way designed to bring me down

My hands would sweat, my heart would pound

Now I've learned it and I've turned around

And I hanker for that anchor sound

I hanker for that anchor sound

Once designed to bring me down

I never had no plans

Just dreams and vague directions

I would make my stand in the house of corrections

Now I'm a man at last

I see that everything is changing

And if you want to hold on fast

The future needs arranging

Now I'm looking forward to you

Now I'm looking forward to you

My former view was backward

My backward view was blue

Now I'm looking forward to you
