The song Better Not Look Down is performed by B.B. King in the album named Anthology in the year 2007 .
I've been around and I've seen some things
People moving faster than the speed of sound
Faster than the speeding bullet people living like Superman
All day and all night and I won't say if it's wrong or if it's right
I'm pretty fast myself but I do have some advice to pa*s along
Right here in the words of this song
You better not look down if you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead
You better not look back or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving if you don't look down
An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day
That girl had lived in love and for love
And over love, and under love all her life
If the arrows from cupids bow that had
Pa*sed through her heart had been sticking
Out of her body she would have looked like
A porcupine, and she asked me
'B.B. do you think I've lived my life all wrong?'
And I said, 'The only advice I have to pa*s
Along is concealed in the chorus of this song'
Girl, better not look down if you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving if you don't look down
I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning
In London, England
And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine
Pulling slowly along the street
And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England
Looking tired, just got back from a party
And the Queen leaned out and she said, 'Aren't you B.B. King?'
She said, 'Oh B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together
Could you tell me what you think I ought to do?' And I said
'You better not look down if you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving if you don't look down'
You better not look down if you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead
You better not look back or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving if you don't look down
You better not look down if you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead
