Lookin’ Back (Live)Bob Seger

Released: April 12, 1976

Songwriter: Bob Seger

Producer: Bob Seger Punch Andrews

You hit the street, you feel them staring
You know they hate you, you can feel their eyes a glarin'
Because you're different because you're free
Because you're everything deep down they wish they could be

You're lookin' back (lookin' back) they're lookin' back (lookin' back)
Too many people lookin' back
You're lookin' back (lookin' back) they're lookin' back (lookin' back)
Too many people lookin' back

They watch the news, see young men dying
They watch them bleedin' and lord listen to them lyin'
And if they're normal if they can see
They just reach out and change the channel on the TV

When they could vote, and end the war
They're much too busy fittin' locks upon the back door
Give you a foxhole, a place to hide
Cause when the war come the cops'll be on their side

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
