Текст песни Never Looked Back - Lee Lee Stylz

Yeah
You know, everybody′s got their own struggles
But some of us have been through it all
Yeah

She was a little girl
From a broken home
Alcoholic step-father always on his throne
Mama always had some bruises
Or some broken bones
Little girl always screamin'
"Leave my mama alone!"
But screamin′ never worked
So she just prayed at church
"God, please take away
All the pain and the hurt
And put him in a hearse
Before I do it first
Even if it ruins my life
At least I'm saving hers"
She cried, "Mama, please leave
He don't love you
He just wants to see you bleed
He ain′t go nothin′ that we need
Forget a father figure
He don't even care about me!
And you can always find another
But if we stay, then I′m afraid
Soon, I'll be without a mother"
Finally got fed up and packed
So they hit the road
Pedal to the flo′
And they never looked back

Mmm
You don't have to go
Back to that Life
No
You don′t need to go
Back to that life
God's got a new plan
Just leave it in His hands
Don't go back to that life
You don′t have to go back

She was only 15
Been living with her father
While her Mama got clean
Was sneakin′ with her boyfriend
Doing grown-up things
Became a baby with a baby
No more times to chase dreams
She tried to do the right thing
Got married to the dad
So they could have a family
She began to see a change in him
He was always gone
He left her sittin' by the phone
With the baby all alone
This ain′t the type of life she wanted
She'd call him, he′d just yell
And call her names
And hang up on her
He acted like she wasn't even there
And when she cried he acted like
He didn′t even care
So naive, she still believed that he
Could give her the world
Til she found out
He was cheatin' on her
With another girl
Finally got fed up and packed
So she hit the road
Pedal to the flo'
And she never looked back

Mmm
You don′t have to go
Back to that Life
No
You don′t need to go
Back to that life
God's got a new plan
Just leave it in His hands
Don′t go back to that life
You don't have to go back

She was barely 19
A single mother strugglin′
To make ends meet
No child support was coming
But the baby had to eat
So she did what she had to do
And hit the club down the street
She had to shake a little somethin'
To make that her baby boy
Would never hurt for nothin′
She hid it from her family
She knew that they'd be mad
Last thing she ever wanted
Was to have to hurt her Dad
And yeah, she made a lot of cash
But lost her self esteem
And she was always feeling bad
Cryin' cause she always wished
She′d never had to do it
But when Christmas came
The baby′s face lit up
And pulled her through it
She knew she could do somethin' else
So she applied for school
So she could make somethin′
Out of herself
Finally got fed up and packed
So she hit the road
Pedal to the flo'
And she never looked back
