Frances Matney Woodard (1922 – 1991) was born in Huntington, Texas the eldest daughter of a Methodist minister. After working for the US Military during World War 2, she attended and graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. After marrying, she settled in Longview, Texas where she was very active as a Sunday school teacher, youth & children’s choir director, church secretary, choir member, songwriter, and soloist at her Church and throughout East Texas.
She was a Spirit-filled believer who loved the Lord. She was a prolific writer who dedicated her last years in this world to writing songs and poetry, many that were never distributed or published outside the family. I am very proud to share some of her writing with the world. I pray that it blesses you. — Harrison Woodard
Don’t Go Where You Can’t Go Back
By Frances Matney Woodard
(1922 – 1991)
Don’t break a heart anymore
Don’t go away too far
Don’t go where you can’t turn back
Don’t run away anymore
Don’t be bitter
Or be a rebel
Stay on the level
Don’t run away anymore.
Don’t just look for fun
Or see how much you can run
Don’t chase the crowd
Don’t lead the pack
See there’s much more to do
There’s much in life for you
Don’t run away anymore.
Don’t go looking just for fun
Or see how much you can run
You should see there’s more to do
Don’t chase a crowd
Don’t lead the pack
Don’t go where you can’t turn back.
