From the recording Die Another Day

Lyrics

There was a time I was a bad boy, doin things I never should have done,
Walkin down the bad side of the wrong street,
Daddy said"their gonna get you son"
You might think that I'm not one to worry,
But I've seen things that make a grown man cry,
Now a days I'm not in such a hurry, I'm just sit-in on my back porch gettin high,
There ain't no future in yesterday,
You can't keep on lookin back worried about what people say,
Life goes on anyway,
There ain't no future in yesterday
Looking back I can see it was a hard way,
But to be a man you had to walk down that road,
But mama's little baby boy is ok, just looking for that big ole pot of gold,
There ain't no future in yesterday,
You can't keep on lookin back worried about what people say,
Life goes on anyway,
There ain't no future in yesterday
There ain't no future in yesterday,
Walkin down the bad side of the wrong street, There ain't no future in yesterday, Think I'll have to find myself a new way, a new way
