The farther down this lonesome road I go
The more I miss someone I used to know
The more I think of her the more she shines
My past is looking brighter all the time

Today is somewhere I don't want to be
There's no future in tomorrow I can see
And what a shame that hindsight won't go blind
My past is looking brighter all the time

I walked down this one way road not knowing where it led
Where are those greener pastures I thought I saw ahead
All I'll ever need I left behind
My past is looking brighter all the time
[ piano - guitar ]
The more I think of her the more she shines
My past is looking brighter all the time
[ steel ]
Ny past is looking brighter all the time
