No More Looking Over My Shoulder
(Written by Michael Peterson & Craig Wiseman, Sung by Travis Tritt)

As a child I was told that I was destined to be nothing
Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said
Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing
But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread
Yeah

Seems like every choice I made would somehow leave me second-guessing
'Bout the green grass I was passing racing toward the other side
I thank God for the blessing
That I finally learned this lesson:
One Step in the right direction's worth a wasted mile behind


Singin'
No more lookin' over my shoulder
No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more lookin' over my shoulder

I could chill a room with reasons why I would not give forgiveness
To the people who had selfishly left me a wounded soul
I kept dragging 'round those memories
Like a ball and chain behind me
Wonderin' why my troubles followed me wherever I would go
Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired
I realized forgiveness was the only open road
I swear I heard those shackles snap
The moment that I took that path
I never have one time looked back since the morning I arose



I'm singin'
No more lookin' over my shoulder
No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more, no more, no...

No more lookin' over my shoulder
No more hangin' on to the past
No more filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more lookin' over my shoulder

I Want To Live

You are welcome to come sit in my parlor, rest,
kick back and visit awhile.

Weight Of Worth



The heart is where
emotion and need
mix with desire
in equal measure
to obtain
balance of self
in some sort
of symmetry
while distributing each facet
separately
to be maintained
in it's own space
and place
in time
until
rocky roads
lead to polished surfaces
where each part
can be divided
with certainty

not either to the left
or right
but to where need falls
the greatest
to support the weight
of life.
~~~

Pristine thoughts
are sustained
gaining strength
to carry on
the continual struggle
for balance
while maintaining
secure foothold

and sensitivity
of the heart.

~~~

Worth of heart
cannot be summarized
in measure,
nor can value be
placed upon it
for how can a heart
be defined
in numerical systems….

It is to refined
to be constricted
by mere dollar amount...

~~~
It is not in how one
carries the load~

Hearts of gold are measured
by the compassion that they show...
priceless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{Love has it's own time, it's own season,
and it's own reasons for coming and going.
You cannot bribe it or coerce it
or reason it into staying.
If it chooses to leave, from your heart
or the heart of a lover,
there is nothing you can do
and nothing you should do.
Be glad that it came to live
for a moment in your life.
If you keep your heart open,
it will surely come again.

Simple Truths
