If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place   (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Just your problems, no one else's problems
You'll just have to face   (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're going to leave all our troubles behind

We're going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)
Going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)

Now if your first lover let you down
There's something that can be done   (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)  (Tell him what you do right)
Don't heal your faith in love
Remembering what's become, oh no   (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run) 

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're going to leave all our troubles behind

We're going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)
We're going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)

If you just put your hand in mine
We're going to leave all our troubles behind

We're going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)  (Keep on walking)

We're going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)

Places behind you
There to remind you

If your first love have broke your heart
Something can be done   (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Don't heal your faith in love
Remembering what's been lost - alright    (You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run) 

But if you just put your hand in mine
We're going to leave all our troubles behind

We're going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)
We're going to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back) - we're going to walk and don't look back

-How far you've been walking, man?  (We've got to walk and don't look back)
-About a hundred miles  (Don't look back)
-You've still got some more to walk, man  (We've got to walk and don't look back)  (Don't look back)
-I know, don't remind me about it  (We've got to walk and don't look back)
-I'm getting kind of tired, but I got to keep on walking  (Don't look back)
-I'm walking barefoot  (We've got to walk and don't look back)
-You know, keep on walking  (Don't look back)

You got to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)
Keep on a-walking
We got to walk and don't look back  (Don't look back)
Keep on a-walking
