I never cared about the car I'd drive Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd ride 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 I never had no plans just dreams and vague directions I would not make my stand I the house of corrections Now I can see 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 as 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 I never had no plans just dreams and vague directions I would not make my stand I the house of corrections Now I can see 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 as blue Now I'm looking forward to you
