Slim Dusty - Looking Forward Looking Back Lyrics
Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know
All the love we’ve had between
You and I, along the track
Looking forward, looking back
There are strange days
Full of change on the way
But we’ll be fine, unlike some
I’ll be leaning forward, to see what’s coming
Looking forward, looking back
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know
If I’m alone at night, I can see
Through all the triviality
Of the day and I’m okay
I just think of those who are dear to me
Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know
Making songs, from what I know
Looking forward, looking back...

HOW COULD THERE POSSIBLY BE 79 PEOPLE THAT DISLIKE THIS! DISREPECTFUL!
National hero. Cultural treasure.
This was my one of my fathers favourite songs. on the 3/3/16 at 9.15 am I played this for him as I sat next to him in hospital. I listened and watched the video with him for my first time. as soon as it finnished he passed. how many people get to end on that note. miss you dad.
It must be sad to hear this song 😭 it makes me think of my stock horse Ozzie
Yeah lost me old man to cancer and he loved Slim so same effect when i hear it just a great tune with lyrics of wisdom and reflection. To the old boys!
Was the last song at my dad funeral last year, he was friends with slim
May God bless your Dad's soul..Your comment touched me sir.
I feel you friend this was played at my grandfathers funeral (he was his favorite artist he even shook his hand once!) they played this and leave him in the long yard its still hard to even think about that time (was in 2004) but i had to share just to let you know you are not alone and if the universe is kind maybe one day we will see them again. cheers to looking forward my friend.
We played this at my pops funeral 12 years ago roughly . My pop loved slim . I was thinking of him so I played this song for the first time since his passing . RIP Pop.

Such a sad song as this was my children granddad favourite song and was played at his furneal just 2 weeks ago.
Sad song was played at my dads funeral 7 years ago
Grew up listening to Slim Dusty music and never really appreciated it until my grandfather died. Brings back so many memories listening to him again. My grandad played guitar and sang his songs to his grand kids and its one of the most fun times in my life. Sitting in front of my grandad on the carpet with my sister and cousins and just having a good time. lots of laughs.....I miss him so much. RIP old man. I love you so much life will never be the same without you.

Played yesterday along with Travelers prayer at my Grandfather's funeral. He was a true Aussie and loved his Slim Dusty music whilst he travelled our great country.
Going to miss him more than ever but listening to slim just reminds me of the stories and jokes he had to say.
