"Looking Forward" - John Gorka from "Temporary Road" 1992

Intro: E  A  E  A twice

E
I never cared about the car I'd drive 


Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd ride

A
Just as long as I could get somewhere 

    F#m                  B                  E
And not get hurt I could breathe out there

                       A                          E     A
I knew that 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: 
A                          B
I never had no plans, just dreams and vague directions

   A                                   B
Of how I wouldn't make my stand in the house of corrections

A                                 B
Now I'm a man at last, I see that everything is changing

    A                                B                      A  B
And if you want to hold on fast, the future needs arranging


CHORUS:
E                          A
Now I'm looking forward to you

E                          F#m  B
Now I'm looking forward to yo---u

   E                            A
My former view was backward, my backward view was blue

                B        E         A   E   A 
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 hanker for that anchor sound
Once designed to bring me down

repeat bridge and chorus
