The Blue Ridge Mountains were turning green
The last time I saw her face
Rose colored glasses can't hide the pain
Neither can your satin and lace

Chorus:
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow...
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow.
I tried to keep you warm at night
Through the lonely winter snow
Sayin' your wrong is just not right
That's why I have to go...

Our love just got lost along the way
Can't fine our selves eye to eye.

Or face to face...

Chorus:
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow...
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow Our love got lost along the way.
I know you'd walk thru fire for me
You showed me in every way
Now it's time to set you free
The words got in my way...

Chorus:
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow...
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow...
I turned my Back on Yesterday
For a better tommorrow
Our love got lost along the way...
Lost along the way....
