John Gorka Looking Forward Lyrics

I never cared about the car I'd drive
Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd drive
Just as long as I could get somewhere
And not get hurt I could breathe out there
I knew I could be free out there...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

Bridge:
I never had no plans just dreams and vague directions
Of how 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 wanna hold on fast the future needs
arranging

Chorus:
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 weight designed to bring me down
My hands would sweat and 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

Repeat Bridge
