Don't Look At My Shadow Lyrics - Stephen Stills

New York City years ago 

Tourists in the rain 

Singin' on the swing shift 

For pennies 

Thinkin' 'bout the bayou 

Cajun river song 

It almost got my head broke 

In Texas 

Purple Peacock, Honky Tonk 

Eunice, Louisiana 

Bourbon whiskey free, son 

Just tune up the piano 

Workin' clubs in New Orleans 

Bringin' down a dollar 

College boys drink beer 

And throw the bottles

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

It's been a long, long, long way 

I got some more to go 

Don't look at my shadow 

It's behind me 

It's been a long, long, long way 

In twenty years or so 

Thinkin' 'bout those times 

Might amuse me 

It's been a long, long, long way 

I got some more to go 

Don't look at my shadow 

It's behind me 

It's been a long, long, long way 

In twenty years or so 

Thinkin' 'bout those times 

Might amuse me

L.A., Forum Sports Arena 

Twenty thousand fans 

Gals, you come to listen, I'm gonna 

Give you everything I can 

I've always had to play my music 

Play it best I could 

Hope you're on the stands 

And get me good 

You know that California dreamin' 

Nearly put me down for good 

Colorado, Rocky Mountains 

Saved my senses 

It's been a long, long, long way 

I got some more to go 

Don't look at my shadow 

It's behind me 

It's been a long, long, long way 

In twenty years or so 

Thinkin' 'bout those times 

Might amuse me
