DON'T LOOK BACK
Writers: Grayson Hugh/ Holly Knight
See that girl go walking
off to the horizon line
She’s going to a new life
going in her own good time
She ain’t takin’ no airplane
don’t wanna get there too fast
It’s not too late she can still take it back
maybe it all will pass
And she’s been down that road before
and she can’t go back there no more
Don’t look back
Keep right on that track
Don’t look back
Keep that sunshine on your back
Don’t stop to shed a tear
It ain’t as bad as that
That’s alright baby
Don’t look back
She made it down to the station
as the whistle started to blow
Up drives Johnny in his pickup truck
Grabs her and says don’t go
Tell me that you don’t love me
look me straight in the eyes
If you don’t tell me no stories
I won’t tell you no lies
Cause we’ve been down that road before
and we can’t go back there no more
Don’t look back
Keep right on that track baby
Don’t look back
Keep that sunshine on your back
Don’t stop to shed a tear
don’t be sorry or sad
That’s alright baby
Don’t look back
If somebody anybody tries to make you change your mind
Take your comfort from your courage
leave ’em all behind
It’s a year gone and a lifetime
since she left that old town
every now and then her name comes up as old friends sit around
Way off in the distance
a restless owl she cries
and there’s a young girl who’s leaving home
she’s looking for a brand new life
Don’t look back
Keep right on that track baby
Don’t look back
Keep that sunshine on your back
Don’t stop to shed a tear
It ain’t as bad as that
That’s alright baby
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Keep right on that track
Don’t look back
Keep that sunshine on your back
Don’t stop to shed a tear
don’t be sorry or sad
That’s alright baby don’t look back
Keep right on it
Keep right on it

ROAD TO FREEDOM
Writers: Holly Knight/Grayson Hugh
Over the tops of mountains
over the western snow
watching the river wander
just a vein of silver far below
He’s leaving the lonesome city
flying out of the past
looking for the future
will it ever, ever, ever last
will it ever, ever, ever last
Out on the road to freedom
some will stumble and some will fall
out on the road to freedom
lonely, tired and frightened
all but stranded
on the road to freedom
Through so many bright clouds and skies
the world is watching you
and they’re dreaming with your eyes
You look out on the faces
as you stand up from your chair
but your eyes return to elsewhere
to the fires that are burning there
they’re burning, burning
burning there
Out on the road to freedom
some will stumble and some will fall
out on the road to freedom
lonely, tired and about to fall
out on the road to freedom
some will leave and some will stay
out on the road to freedom
it takes more than one to pave the way
on the road to freedom
hey baby
I want you to follow me
2. ROAD TO FREEDOM
I CAN'T UNTIE YOU FROM ME
Writers: Grayson Hugh/Holly Knight
The time has tied
the mountain to the river
and tied that rollin’ river right down to the sea
Like the willow to the ground
Baby love has tied me to you Ohhh yes it did
and no matter what I try to do
I can’t untie you from me
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me
Babe I can’t do it I can’t untie you baby
Now people come into your life
and people they will go yes they will
Holding on to nothing at all
nothing but the passing day
When the night spreads out her song
Baby I know you got to listen Oh yes you do
For the truth that’s in your heart
Is never ever far away
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me
Babe I can’t do it
I don’t know what to tell you Oh yeah
Your name is on the wall
And it’s written on the deep blue bay
In the sky where eagles wander
Down in the shadows of the green leaves
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me baby
No I can’t
And I walked a thousand miles
To the edge of every sea
And I’ve tried oh yes I’ve tried
But I can’t untie you from me baby
