Lyrics Don’t Look Back (1997) by John Lee Hooker

Don't look back
Over the days of yesteryear
It's no good
I know
So many people
Tryin' to live on
For the past
It's no good
If I could call
Back the days of yesteryear, yesteryear
I'd never, never
Be poor
No good
Stop dreamin', stop dreamin'
And live on, live on
For the future
No good, no good
No, no, no, no, no
It ain't, it ain't
No good
Live on
For the future
And not the past
No, no, no
Feels, feels so good
Well, well, well
No, no, no
No no
No, no
Now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
You gotta live
For the future, and not the past
Oh, oh
Have mercy, have mercy

And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know so many people
Still tryin'a live on
In the past
Those days are gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
It ain't no good!
No good!
You gotta stop, stop
All your, all your dreamin'
Yea!
And live on for the future
Baby, don't, baby, don't look back
Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back, don't look back
No, no, oh
No, no, no, no, no
Stop dreamin'', stop dreamin'
And live on, live on
In the future
And not the past
It's no good, no good
For those days
Is gone, is gone
Done passed on by
Those days, those days
Is gone by, gone by
So stop dreamin'!
And live on
For the future
Those days
Is gone, is gone, is gone away
Mm, oh
I gotta say somethin'
If I could
Live my life
All over again'
I'd call back
Them days
Yes I would, yes I would, (yea)
Well well
Call back them days, call back them days
Haha
Of yesteryear
Call back them days, call back them days of yesteryear
Yesteryear, man
They gone
In your heart
And your soul
In your heart and your soul
Those days, those days, those days
Will never, never, never, never go, never go
Never come back again
Those days, never go
Never go
Haha
