[Intro]
G ~
[Verse]
G There's a girl I used to know G About three broken hearts ago. G I married her and left her G in the dark. G Vicksburg her it now, G And I'm headed there somehow G Or to see if I can kindle, G that old spark.
[Chorus 1]
Dm7 C G She had that Louisiana sizzle. Dm7 C G She had that sleepy southern sass. Dm7 C (When) I split the blanket G down the middle. Em D Since then it's all been C downhill fast. Em D G I'm looking forward to the past.
[Verse]
G I'm a Mississippi man G And a Conway Twitty fan. G And I haven't heard a song G I like in years. G I drive a pup wood truck G (And) I'm makin' on His book, G And I'd be ready when my Saviour G reappears.
[Chorus 2]
Dm7 C If you want to think I'm dumb G and lazy, Dm7 C G Touch me entirely without class. Dm7 C G But if you knew how Mama raised me, Em D C You know it's you comes all crashed. Em D G I'm looking forward to the past.
[Verse]
G He who lives and learns, G Can't renegotiate the terms G On the frickin' frackin' future G Full of carbon copy crap. G The stakes are through the roof G But there's very little crew. G We can find fresh food and water G somewhere out there G off the map, yeah

Em D G
[Verse]
G Well I cut my teeth on hurt, G And I slung my shared dirt, G And I blame my self for everything G goin' wrong. G 'What's done is done', They say. G If there's hell, we have to pay. G I might admit, G I must have known it all along.
[Chorus 3]
Dm7 C I don't know two nickels G from a quarter. Dm7 C I don't know my shirt down G from my ass. Dm7 C This modern world's so G out of order. Em D I don't know just how long C it can last. Em D G I'm looking forward to the past, Em D G I'm looking forward to the past.
