Get away, don’t look back!
Get away, don’t look back!
Get away, don’t look back
Crossing through the woods
Remembering the last time
(had to) leave town for good
Crossing through the woods
Leaving town for good
Crawling through the undergrowth
(And the) things you left behind
Wishing you had something,
(Someone) else was on your mind
Things you left behind
Someone on your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Get away, don’t look back!
Get away, don’t look back!
Walk away, don’t go back
As the dusk turns into dark
Hoping for an easy time
(but) sometimes it's so much work
Turning into dark
Sometimes it’s so much work
Now you’ve got to thinking
(about) the letter that you wrote
Wondering if she’ll miss you
And you’d rather that she don’t
Letter that you wrote
Rather that she don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Get away, don’t look back!
Get away, don’t look back!
Stay away, don’t go back
Swimming against the tide
Wondering if she’ll miss you
And you kind of hope she might
Swimming against the tide
Hoping that she might
Wading in the undertow
(and) feeling that you're lost
Knowing you’re going to turn around
(while you’re) having second thoughts
Feeling lost
Having second thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts
Get away, don’t look back!
Get away, don’t look back!
Turn around, get on back
This was a mistake
If you really hurry
You’ll be back before she wakes
All just a mistake
Back before you wake
Running up the staircase (now you’re)
Starting to come ‘round
She’s waiting in the parlor (and now)
It’s all coming down
Starting to come round
It’s all coming down (down . . .)
Get away, don’t look back!
Get away, don’t look back!
Walk away, don’t back track
Get away, don’t look back, back, back, back, back
